Today we have summer squash, zucchini, onions, garlic, picked tomatoes and fresh dug carrots. Our lettuce and spinach bolted mid July due to the heat and the swiss chard slowed down. I have some chard on the farmstand this morning but will probably run out at some point. I have to go check the beets, maybe they are large enough today. I've been waiting for weeks to pick this planting!

The Pick Your Own tomato patch is just coming on and had quite a few people yesterday resulting in low amounts of red ripe tomatoes today. The picking this early in the season is down in the center clusters so you have to get down low to find them and pull them out. We have 16 varieties to chose from. There are many tomatoes starting to turn a little red right now. Later this coming week or into the weekend there will be many tomatoes for picking. There are many tomatoes to come, the picking is just beginning.  If you are looking to pick green tomatoes for your relish etc then come on over as there are large amounts of those at $1/lb.

Sweet corn will start on Monday at 9am. The variety is Mauntoc and I'm probably spelling it incorrectly. It is bi-color, large eared and sweet. Randy enjoys picking his corn young, so if you are looking for over mature milky ears you will be disapointed.

I copied and pasted the following info from Slow Food's site as today is the picnic:

The 4th Annual Slow Food Seacoast Down-on-the-Farm Picnic brings home the idea of local food production at Lauren Chase-Rowell’s permaculture homestead in Nottingham, NH, with the theme of Weeds & Seeds! A Celebration of Summer’s Bounty. Come see how one family has created a low-impact living space that is sustainable, self-sufficient, and ecologically connected to the natural world. BYO picnic gear and a potluck dish to share, and enjoy a relaxing afternoon in this diverse landscape with outdoor activities for all ages. This event will be held rain or shine.
