The Fall to-do-list
So now that the season is finally starting to feel like fall and is not just some far off wishful thought, It is time to start checking off some of our extensive to-do-list of projects here on the farm. We grow so intensively with three seasons of crops in one planting bed we have to [...]
Planting up a fall season
Here we are right in the middle of the dog days of the hottest summer on record!…can you believe that? The only difference from last summer is the rains…we have had enough rain to help prevent the field from burning up this summer…last year we had nothing in the way of rain and the crops [...]
Turning up the heat
Smokin’ Hot field temps So it looks like we are heading into August still riding this extreme heatwave that has had a grip on much of the country the past few weeks. Yesterday I pulled Mark out into the field to take this picture for I know no one would believe how dang hot [...]
Make way for the Queen!
We have all heard the that Corn is king here in America if that is so then I think Tomatoes should be crown Queen! She is by far the queen of this farm during this hot summer season. Nothing and I do mean nothing drives folks to the farmers markets like a fresh tomato and [...]

My husband Mark who was born in inter-city Pittsburgh…yankee…city boy…never in his wildest dreams would have thought he would of found himself living much less loving living and working on [...]

For those of you that are thinking about join a farm’s CSA either here at Madison Creek Farms or a local organic farm near your community hearing from those that already participate in such a [...]
Market, CSA and Everything in between
Farm Open Saturday 9-2pm Last Saturday was the opening day for our on-farm market. How much fun it was to see all those familiar faces we haven’t seen all winter plus we got to meet so many new people that had never been to the farm before. The market is and as been from the [...]
Red Mustards…new to the market
There are a few field trials going on this year here at the farm for a few new varieties in vegetables and flowers. One of these new vegetable trials we are growing is Garnet Red Mustard Greens from Johnny Seeds in Maine. A cool weather crop that has really added a shot of color in [...]
