New item at pick up today! 🍅 Tried to capture how beautiful the day & the fennel transplants were on Friday after the heatwave broke...instead captured the reality of our tired smiles and confused expressions from a week of heat exhaustion and dehydration. Thank you all who gave us kind words at pick up this week, and especially thank you to the elite few who brought us soda, seltzer, and sweet treats. We wouldn't do this work if we didn't love it, but we sure do appreciate the extra gratitude on the extra challenging days. Plus, those high temps were rocket fuel for summer favorites like eggplant, tomatoes, and corn. Peak summer bounty is coming soon! #heatwave #fennel #gatorade #sunburn #organicfarming #urbanfarming Yeah, we're pretty excited about strawberries... but the truth is we're also vegetable nerds. Happy broccoli season!!! #bestvegetable #whynobroccoliemoji It's that time! 🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓 Everything is ramping up around the farm. Different teams of the crew are bustling around irrigating, transplanting, weeding, pruning, harvesting, seeding, tilling, and anxiously checking if the strawberries are ripe. Harvests are getting larger and more varied - favorites like cucumbers and broccoli are on the horizon. Peak summer crops are showing signs of growth with each warmer day. And best of all, the enthusiasm from our members is a loving reminder that what we do is appreciated. It's a good time to be a farmer! Want a beautiful bouquet like this every week this summer?

Planting thousands of onions takes our large crew several days of non stop planting, often working longer than normal hours. We've planted them in the snow, we've planted them in the heat, we've planted them on time, and we've planted them a bit late. Somehow though the onions always take root and grow, and eventually reward us with their bounty. #organicfarming #4seasonfarming #btv #onions Mark your calendars for our annual plant sale. Come down from 9-12 the first three Saturdays of May at our pole barn, or shop for starts at the last winter pick ups. Cash or check only! #burlingtonvt #btv #plantsale Construction on our new shared wash/storage facility is progressing quickly! Lots of concrete has been poured and many building materials have been delivered for construction. Photo via @intervalecenter First transplants in the ground today. Over a half mile worth of beds planted! Repost via @intervalecenter : This week, we broke ground on a shared pack house and storage facility that will accommodate a production increase at the Intervale Conservation Nursery and also support year round washing and product storage for Intervale Community Farm. Big things happening soon... Stay tuned for more info Some of our fields are so deep in the #intervale it's easy to forget we're within the city limits of Burlington REALLY big!!
