This week: Indian summer has arrived, giving our crops one more burst of life: tomatoes, okra, eggplant, cucumbers, and peppers are all responding with a surprising late-season harvest.

We're celebrating this Saturday, October 10th at Grow Ogden's Fall Farm Fest, with some free pizza, live music, and a bake sale featuring Rita's tomato basil zucchini bread.

Plus, our sugar snap peas are flowering for the first time at Faircrest, and our solarium cucumbers are climbing in hopes of a late crop just in time for Thanksgiving!

This week: Thank you to the ~30 friends who joined us for our 2nd Annual Open House.
We're grateful for 0.6 inches of rain this week, bringing Ogden's 2026 total close to its annual average.

On the harvest side: salad mix is really taking off, golden beets are matching the fall colors, and we've fully transitioned to city water with a new pulse irrigation rhythm. We're also welcoming two new applicants to our farm-based life-relaunching program.

This week: Nature changed the music on us, our secondary water supply shut off early, so we're dancing our way through the rest of the season on house water alone (and praying for rain ).

On the harvest side: Yukon Gold potatoes are coming up, tomatoes are finally turning red, and we're growing kohlrabi for the first time, some are the size of baseballs.

Plus, a reminder to save the date for our Open House on Tuesday, September 29th, 5:30–8:30pm.
