Kiwi Roots Farm

Hey Folks. Been a busy past few days! We were able to get all of our Garlic in before the big rain today and it’s looking like some of our best. Thank you to my lovely wife for taking on the bulk of the harvest by herself while I worked on other Farm stuff 😜 Today is very wet, but how good eh?! This is how we want the rain to fall. Slow and steady. Managed some w**ding and stripped the plastic of this Caterpillar that will be moved over to our final Tomato bed, so come rain or shine always plenty to keep working on. Hope everyone has a great start to the work week. Catch ya soon. Cheers Dan

Howdy folks. Been a busy ole time here at Kiwi Roots. Spring is full of constant planting either direct seeding or transplanting and seeding successions each week in the nursery to keep it all going. Each week more and more crops are ready to harvest and believe it or not some of our beds are already on their second crop this season! Almost all of our summer crops are in, so get ready for the bounty coming to the Stand before we know it. With crops thriving so are the w**ds 🤪 I try to lessen the burden by utilizing crimped cover crop as a mulch, w**d fabric and running down my rows with a wire w**der while w**ds are young on a hot day. All these methods help keep the w**ds in mostly in check 🙃 Other than that, we are loving seeing you all , new and old at the Stand each week. Happy hump day and hope to see you at the Stand this week. Cheers Dan

Plenty of this beautiful Lettuce Mix available at the Farm Stand this week 😋

Winter Rye is about ready to crimp. Will post some pictures of this process as I have in the past but essentially we flatten (crimp) the rye then will tarp it to kill any sneaky w**ds then this will become Winter Squash with our own home grown mulch ground cover.
