Our "old" farm location is going strong and bursting with vegetable goodness. We are continuing to produce all sorts of fruits, veg, herbs and edible flowers at our Glen Arbor location for Manresa restaurant. We've got a long way to go before the terraces at the new Vine Hill farm site will be this abundant.
If your garden doesn't look quite this good, and you'd like to learn more about growing better vegetables, particularly tomatoes, consider taking one of our gardening classes. We've got Simple Drip Irrigation, Container Vegetable Gardening, Tomato Masters, Compost and Vermiculture workshops all coming up soon!
Many thanks to our excellent crew of apprentices, WWOOFers, Helpxers and volunteers here at Love Apple Farm. We couldn't do it without you!
If only more people could simply taste the difference of biodynamically grown vegetables. Then they might realize that there really is more nutrition without the toxins. Convenience is killing us and I commend your efforts highly to produce these wonderful vegetables and show people what they are missing by shopping in the freezer isle at the supermarket! We need to eat food as nature intended and not destroy it with processing.

Just as I was getting ready to research the trouble with my bumper crop tomatoes- suddenly brown and wilting- I read about mites in your email. Thanks for being one step ahead of the game! Too bad I don't have that hand lens (yet) to examine the little critters!

Wow - what beautiful gardens you have!! Our
garden here in NW Montana is doing great, too,
with the heat we've been having. And our
raspberries are really out-doing themselves!
Thanks for the wonderful articles and beautiful pictures.

Well, we have little green tomatoes now! Our kids(ages 7-15)have loved reading your pamphlet, planting, watering and weeding. Now we'll see if they eat them! We made a binder with photos and your descriptions. We are short 2 tomato cages, but now they can learn how to make those too. Thanks Cynthia! Love Apple Farm has been so helpful and inspirational in our homeschooling. Many blessings!
