Ready to Rock!

This is by far one of our favorite times of the year. The past couple week’s we’ve been running 90 to nothing, hence the gap in blogging, and gearing up for what we would call the super bowl of our year otherwise known as PRODUCE SEASON! This is the time of the year of 23 second phone calls about 15 times a day, eating on the run, sweating, suntans and little sleep. While other’s vacation during the summer we’re planting, picking and packing our goods for deliveries and markets. Some days I really feel like we’ve lost our minds but it’s completely worth it. Especially when our customer’s enjoy their first Fahrmeier Farms tomato, make a big batch of salsa using our peppers, onions, tomatoes and herbs or enjoy one of our fresh picked berries.
This week we will be at the Farm to Table event at the University of Missouri- Columbia (MIZ- ZOU! Sorry...had to get that in there!) promoting and selling our veggies and goods. We’re hosting a wedding at the winery at the farm and will be at our usual farmer’s markets in KC this weekend too. It’s so much fun meeting lots of new people and telling them about our farm and what we do.
