‘Snow Crown’ Cauliflower

Harvesting our first heads of ‘Snow Crown’ Cauliflower! It’s done very well in the garden...especially taking into consideration the extreme temperature swings we’ve experienced this season. We’re replanting this area with new plants with hope for a second crop!

From Farm To Table In So Many Ways!

Fast forward from May 18 to July 3...the veggie garden is thriving! We are currently harvesting Hakurei turnips, onions and kale. The tomatoes and green beans are blooming and the broccoli and cabbage are forming heads. In anticipation of a second harvest, we’ve sown the seeds of Blue Vates Kale, Rubicon Napa Cabbage, Snow Crown Cauliflower and KK Cross Cabbage. We also use this garden space to grow the Big Smile sunflowers that we preserve and use in the arrangements in our gift shop. From our flower farm to the table in so many ways...because life should be beautiful and delicious!
