Puppets, Hawks and Cucumbers

The farm stand is a success and our neighbors are a delight

A dog pole has been installed at the garden entrance with water for the beasts.  A bicycle rack is also being built as many of our customers ride the trail.

A new garden was created by the bike trail entrance, featuring cherry tomatoes, chile peppers and summer squash

The Santa Fe Sustainability Group, a new non-profit created by Maria and Thure Meyer, gifted us with 50 tomato plants and 100 Shishito Peppers
