There’s only two more weeks left in this year’s Salem Saturday Market!  Two more weeks!  Hopefully you’re not planning to let a little rain keep you away from your weekly veggies with so little time left to meet up with your local farmers.  We’re fully into the best of the fall veggies.  This week we’ll have more leeks, rutabagas, and the first of the season’s sweet potatoes!  It’s true, sweet potatoes!  We’ve also loaded up our jack pumpkins and our booth will be overflowing with them.  Hopefully you’ll keep us in mind for your pumpkin carving needs.

We hope to see you Saturday sometime between 9am and 3pm.  You can find us at the Salem Saturday Market near the intersection of Winter and Union streets in downtown Salem.

Thanks!

We apologize for the late notice, but we are indeed headed to Market tomorrow morning!  It’s been a busy week keeping things well irrigated during what may have been our summer high temps for the year.  We’ve also been busy planting the last big push of transplants of this season for overwintering crops including kale, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, and onions.  And of course the tractor cultivating, hoeing, and hand weeding has continued as always.  We’re glad to be headed back to Market after a week off.

You read that right.  We’re headed to market this week.  Hopefully you’ll make it down our way and say hi!

The big news in our neck of the woods is that we bought the farm yesterday!  It’s been a long process with loads of paperwork and negotiations and more paperwork and we’re glad to have it behind us.  Now we can focus on continuing to improve the land and enjoying a little farm stability.  We have a long list of projects that have been on hold until the purchase was final.  We’re looking forward to diving in and really making this place our farm home.  Come help us celebrate with a great day at market!

Hello from Pitchfork & Crow ~

I’m headed out to help Jeff harvest for the Salem Saturday Market!  Here’s a selection of what we’ll be bringing to market:

• Artichokes
• Beets
• Bunching Onions
• Cabbage
• Chard
• Collards
• Cooking Greens
• Fennel
• Green Garlic
• Head Lettuce
• Kale
• Kohlrabi
• Peas
• Radishes
• Salad Mix

It’s true, we’re indeed headed to the Market this week.  We’ll finally have a somewhat diverse list of veggies to offer up and we hope you’ll make the time to stop by and say hi.

We’ve been staying busy with all of the farm work that arrives with the sunshine and warm weather of the summer: the weeding, the planting, the irrigating, the harvesting.  We’re happy to find ourselves back in the routine and rhythm of work after the wet spring that continuously halted our plans for progress.  Though we constantly feel the pressure to have earlier harvests in the spring, larger production, and fewer weeds all around, this time of year finds us relaxing just a bit.  The crops in the field are finally thriving and we can breathe a little easier knowing we’ve officially made it through another spring without being defeated.  We hope you’re also able to relax some now that it’s summer in the valley and enjoy all the great local produce finally available.

We hope to see you Saturday sometime between 9am and 3pm.  You can find us at the Salem Saturday Market near the intersection of Winter and Union streets in downtown Salem.

Thanks!
