Here's a glimpse of the foggy interior
It's a balmy 75 degrees inside the greenhouse when the sun shines on it. The seeds will be up in a matter of days. Just makes me want to do a little dance.

the first of the Summer Vegetables, 2010
Don't get too excited...yet. But we started seeding this week. All our onions, shallots, and leeks, along with early greens and celery, are now snuggled up against the heated table top in our greenhouse.

Look! Your technologically challenged farmer is on Facebook!! We'll post updates and random silly information there as well as here.Be a fan!
This week is the delivery for our January share! We're pleased to have a selection of veggies from the farm despite the ridiculous temperatures we had in December. We also have a few bonus items: locally roasted organically grown coffee from Santa Lucia, and amazing local Pecorino from Black Sheep Creamery. Yum!

Photos from the Beach!
We were thrilled to have a few hours of gorgeous sunny weather every day we were there.
Back to work now!
Seed order completed, it's off to the beach!
After several days of wading through knee-high piles of seed catalogs, we finally completed the Summer 2010 seed order. Boistfort Valley Farm will once again plan and plant for another (hopefully) glorious season of vegetables.
And now, with the hard work of the seed ordering behind us, we retire to our favorite secluded beach spot for a couple days of r&r. Soon enough, we'll be glued to the farm, and unable to take a few days off. we're enjoying ourselves thoroughly.

Deep mud, good times
Greetings from the Boistfort Valley!
We have kept quite busy with our Autumn weekly shares and our local orders, despite the nasty weather.
We are excited to offer an extensive Winter program this season-
it's a benefit to us, our employees, and hopefully to all of you! Despite the rain, we have a decent climate for some year-round production, or at least, the Winter won't kill most our our beautiful, hardy vegetables.
Thanks to so many of you who have joined us for the Winter CSA! It's nice to not have to say goodbye to all of you for the soggy season. We anticipate attending the Ballard Sunday Market until mid-December, then it's anyone's guess-we'll be saving our best produce for our members.
As a side note: I want to invite you, if you aren't familiar, to check out Mike's blog as well: http://www.boistfortvalleyfarm.blogspot.com/
He has been recording our on-farm projects, our most recent of which is the tree planting that I talked up in the farm notes. We've loved working with all the kids who have come out to help us plant trees and prune artichokes.
