GOOD MORNING COOLNESS

After yesterday, today feels like heaven with the exception of the excessive amount of wind and rain we received early this morning. Wells Creek is running brown and rising quickly and we witnessed a huge log whistling by in the rising waters. The gardens took, yet, another beating but all buildings are intact.

Thank you to all who supported us last night at market in Rochester. We will do our best to continue to salvage our tomato harvest and continue bringing in product on Thursdays. A reminder that you can also purchase tomatoes at Rochester Produce rochesterproduce.com or head over to ZZEST zzestmarket.com and enjoy them, already prepared, from their fabulous menu.

It's quiet now and the sun is sneaking peeks between the clouds but the forecast holds additional interesting weather for today. Enjoy the coolness and happy Friday.

OUR STORY

We were inspired to celebrate real food, our own food, by a TV series called "River Cottage" that takes place in the farm country of England. We figured if a chef from a big city could downsize and try to make a living on less than an acre of land we should be able to, at the least, grow our own 'veg'.

That was the birth of a goal to make the land pay for itself. Afterall, we have an ideal setting --- the soil is good, the right amount of slope to the land, close to water, south facing, and protected from north winds. One of us grew up on a farm the other one likes to cook. We both like hard work, being outside, sunshine, and the most important thing - we both appreciate the value of fresh and local food. Food, we know, that has had a short journey to the table, no chemicals added, not adulterated in any way, it's real food!! The way food was intended. In our excitement of celebrating real food we offered the bountiful harvest to friends, family, and also began growing a loyal customer base.
