JUN 9 (MON): Overcast, with a bit of rain overnight and early morning, easily absorbed and enough to soak the ground. That water is great, but also need sun, the cloudy days are starting to add up.
Small batch production
Tiny Farm grows in small quantities, like craft beer from a microbrewery. Unlike mass-produced vegetables—standardized and shippable—a tiny farm’s weekly harvest is shaped by the varieties chosen, the growing methods, and the weather. Every crop in every harvest is a little bit different!
Hands at work in the field
Most of the work is by hand with basic garden tools. Rake, hoe, shovel, digging fork, trowel, and an amazing wheel hoe. Minimal irrigation comes from a dug well. At small scale, big agricultural machines simply don’t fit. Instead, timing is everything. Weed today instead of four days from now when the weeds have doubled in size. With a little discipline, on a tiny farm, it’s amazing how versatile and effective a pair of hands can be! For more on growing practices, see about Tiny Farm.
It’s all for harvest day
The Tiny Farm harvest season begins in late June and gets into full swing July through October. Each weekly harvest share includes new crops as they become ready to pick, and weekly staples like salad greens throughout the season. Most veggies are harvested on pick-up day. Freshly dug carrots. Freshly picked tomatoes. Freshly cut salad greens, and lots more. See the Vegetables page for a list of what’s in the garden for 2025, and Ordering for all the details!
