Weir River Farm Blog 9/13

Happy Tuesday trustees!  Our planted produce is now down to just a handful of varieties as we wrap up another year of farming on Turkey Hill.  I pulled up stakes and plastic in nearly every bed, and Farmer Rory spent the day mowing.  The field looks immaculate, which on one hand is exciting and a sign of a season well done, and on the other hand bittersweet as the season changes and the days get cooler and shorter.

I want to remind you all of the September 30th farm to table dinner we'll be having at Weir River.  There are still plates available, and Pete and Fran have done a fantastic job planning (what I believe to be) the final farm to table dinner of the summer.  I'll post the link to register below, along with the current menu.  Please check it out!
