🌼We are HALF WAY through the season!🌼 Benchmarks l 🌼We are HALF WAY through the season!🌼
Benchmarks like this provide moments for reflection and gratitude…
.
😊3 Things we are Grateful for:

✨️Our Crew! We are so honored these persistent, supportive & crafty folx choose to be at Echollective. They continue to build each other up through challenges in the field, but also in their personal lives. From water reminders to hugs to making each other lunch, they are growing your veggies with lots of heart & spirit!

✨️Abundance & Variety! We are stoked to have more TYPES of each plant and more of it, than we were able to last year. This is due to a more experienced crew, along with more stable scheduling &  planning.

💫Our Food System Partners! We are thrilled that our clients - restaurants, ICFM folx and YOU - are part of sustaining local food production. We don’t just grow veggies for fun (lol). We grow vegetables with organic practices to support the health of our planet, our people and our pollinators. It might be a humble farm, but we are part of a strong community of like minded advocates for a better world. Thank you for being part of it :)
.
😰3 Things that have Challenged us:

🌊RAIN! The heat wasn’t pleasant either, but it was manageable. The over abudance of rain in a short time frame has caused several issues. Tomatoes split when they are over saturated. This is a loss- of product and of labor. Damp conditions also lead to disease, as plants can’t dry out properly. Harvesting is also compromised, as picking a wet plant decreases self life of the vegetable and increases the likelihood of damaging the plant

🌀Construction! Lots of road work has made the commute longer and more unpredictable. This starts our days off with a little less patience and variable start times.

🛢Equipment Malfunctions! There is always something to fix on a farm and it’s not always a straight forward solution. 

All said, we have a strong momentum, and are grateful for those of you who have enjoyed our veggies over the over the years. If you are new to us, thank you for investing in our humble veggie farm. We might not be shiny but we are true of heart and strong in spirit. 🫶

This ain't a flavorless stalk- our celery bunches are abundantly aromatic! 
.
Perfect for cooking, this variety holds up along side other sturdy flavors. Even the leaves are enjoyable, wilted into a fresh sauce or chopped up into a creamy Mid Western salad.
.
Grab a bunch at our stall 59/60, along with other vibrant summer veggies this Saturday.

As we harvest from fields and greenhouses, we replant with other crops. This ensures a plentiful season extension with plants that prefer cooler temps, or have shorter growing times.

Here, Sierra uses the vacuum seeder to lay broccoli seeds perfectly into windstrip trays.
