It’s not too early to start referring to things as being so 2020, is it? Because last week was so 2020. First we had hazy skies and sunsets due to the wildfires on the West Coast. A...
Whew, this past week was something else. The college continued with remote instruction last week and it made things a bit interesting, especially with the holiday, but we made it. Not much happened out here at the farm...
Last week was the beginning of a new semester at Tompkins Cortland Community College and what a week it was. To my colleagues at the college, take a big exhale because we made it. the TC3 Farm welcomed 4 new interns and I...
Well, folks, it seems as the calendar is starting to turn to a new month, so is the weather beginning to change. And I am definitely not complaining. I gave up on the rain gauge back in July trying some reverse psychology on...

Well, things were much more amenable weather-wise last week and that allowed us to be much more productive. But let me tell you, it’s a tale of two farms. I know I’ve said it before but the crops growing in the tunnels are...
Holy smokes, was it HOT last week!! We made it through, but it was definitely a struggle at times. The intense heat and no rain (what we got on Wednesday barely registered) made for some unhappy vegetables in the field....
I hope folks had a good weekend. We finally, for the first time since March, had a social distance outdoor gathering with another family and boy, was it nice, especially for the kids. I love my family and would be lost...
