The Early Girl Dry Farmed Tomatoes are late but about to start. I am going to personally pick one box for one of the weekend markets-the official first box. Vote for the market you think should get the first box. The market with the most votes gets the box. Comment here or go to our facebook page and vote there. Please stuff your face not the ballot box.
Dirty Girl Produce will start selling at the Jack London Square Farmers Market in Oakland this Sunday July 11 9am-2pm. Come check us out if you are in the East Bay or take BART over from the city if you want some where fun to go on sunday. See you there.

We are cruising into an oddly normal July given the wet cold spring we just had. Just about everything is looking really good. The only real casualties on our farm are the beans. Oh yeah the beans, yikes! We usually are running haricots verts, yellow wax, and romano by now but they are not going to be here until August. We will probably get tomatoes before beans this year. The field I planted the beans in was too wet to disk for oh so long. We got in and planted maybe 3 weeks late, then the first wave of beans had to tilled under because the germination was so poor in the cold soil. So yeah how about 5 weeks late for beans this year. The strawberries have been epic, with customers dividing into two camps:
On a new front we are growing a new yellow storage onion that I hope to have at the markets through the winter. Right now we are bringing them to market as green onions. Starting July 11, 2010 Dirty Girl Produce will be attending the Jack London Square Farmers Market Sundays
Oh yeah the dry farmed early girl tomatoes are looking really good. Coming in August.
