To give people an idea when our tomatoes will be coming in. Most varieties are 70 to 75 days from the time you set them out in the field and the ground temperature usually doesn’t get warm enough for tomatoes to grow until about April 20. So 70 days from April 20 is the last week in June to the first of July. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Memories.

I asked an old timer once who really ran the farm.

He said, “My wife.”

Back then, the farm wife didn’t have a title. No line on the deed. No paycheck with her name on it. But the farm didn’t move an inch without her.

She kept the books at the kitchen table. Paid the bills. Stretched money when there wasn’t enough of it. She knew which checks could wait and which ones couldn’t. When prices dropped or a crop failed, she was already figuring out how to make it work.

She raised kids and prepared meals at the same time. Dinner showed up no matter how the day went. Clothes were clean. Gardens were planted. Freezers were full. Nothing was wasted, because nothing could be.

She also made sure no one was forgotten.

Birthdays mattered. Even when money was tight. There was always a card. A cake. A small gift that showed she remembered. Christmas came whether the year was good or bad. Presents were modest, but thoughtful. Everyone had something to open. Everyone felt seen.

That part gets overlooked.

She worked the farm too. Maybe not every day, but whenever she was needed. Drove the truck. Ran equipment. Fed livestock. Helped calve. Did chores before daylight and after dark without ever calling it work.

She carried stress quietly. She didn’t complain. She didn’t ask for credit. She just kept everything steady so the rest of the operation could survive.

When money was tight, she was tighter.
When the year went bad, she stayed calm.
When everyone else worried, she held the line.

Most of her work never showed up on paper. But it showed up everywhere else. In kids who were fed. In bills that got paid. In farms that stayed intact when they shouldn’t have.

The truth is, a lot of farms didn’t make it because of acres or equipment.

They made it because of her unwavering support.

If you want to understand how farms survived the hardest years, don’t start with the markets or the weather.

Start at the kitchen table.

That’s where the real decisions were made.
