NEW! Subscribe to our Newsletter

With all the hustle and bustle around here since harvest time has arrived, it is often difficult if not impossible to keep our blog updated daily. As a result, we have come up with another way to keep in touch with what is going on at Magicland Farms. A weekly newsletter is our solution! I will try to update the blog as much as possible but the newsletter will go out every week late on Sunday.

With this newsletter, you can find out what is available for sale, what is coming up in the near future, and some interesting information from the Boss himself with his perspective on what he sees while out in the fields.

I also plan to include recipes and tips for enjoying the produce we have.

In the side bar to the right, we have a signup block for the newsletter. Why not give it a try and see how you like it? We promise not to sell our email list to anyone so you won’t receive any spam from signing up for the newsletter.

The Weather, The Sun and Growing Things Like Green Beans

(green bean plants at Magicalnd Farms)

This week has not been the most helpful to the plants in the field. We have had very little sun, a lot of drizzly annoying type rain and cool temperatures. As a result, plant growth has been very slow this week.

We had hoped to have green beans by the end of the week. However, right now it looks like we will be lucky to have them by the first of next week. Of course, a lot depends on whether the sun decides to come out or not. It did peek out earlier this morning and then disappeared but is trying to make a comeback right now. If we can get some sun, the green beans will respond and start growing.

We do, however, have a few other things for sale: peas, potatoes and kohlrabi. So all is not lost.
