This evening’s beneficial insect release. Green Lacewings are a general predator that help prevent infestations of aphids, whiteflies, thrips and a whole plethora of other pests. And the Trichogramma is a moth egg parasite feeding on cabbage moths. Both beneficials arrived as eggs on cardstock and are hung under the foliage of our targeted plants after a watering. They should hatch out in just a few days and join the team keeping predators away from our crops.
Delicious shiitake mushrooms from our friends @mile_high_fungi will be on our shelves at this weekend. Come getchyou some!
On top of a fantastic market day, a great friend of ours @raphyduche brought me a present. I’m so excited to own the collaboration of my favorite harvest tool @opinelofficiel and my most admired grower @jeanmartinfortier @growersandco . Happy weekend friends!
Tons of good food will load our shelves tomorrow between 10-2 at our farmstand. Please do us a favor and spread the word. Share the post. Post about us on NextDoor (we don’t have an account 😉) and if you’re coming by, bring a friend!
Nearly 100 degrees today and the cottonwoods are making it look like snow. Time to harvest for our Saturday farmstand and CSA WEEK ONE! Cant wait to see you all here 10-2 on Saturday.
Today’s beneficial insect release. Diglyphus isaea. These beneficial parasitic wasps go after leaf miners. Leaf miners often attack spinach and chard on our farm and destroy the plants from the inside out. These wasps will prey on the miners keeping our crop healthy and thriving.
