  • Farmer Lee Jones shares his top 10 summer crops for 2018 Image
    Farmer Lee Jones shares his top 10 summer crops for 2018 June 19, 2018

    “Peas and carrots,” Farmer Lee Jones mused just a few days ago, “go together like a sock and a shoe.” That’s hard to debate and we quickly realized that his mind was on the best of the summer crops. So, we asked him to share what fresh vegetables he’d put on his 2018 summer crops list. The first? Petite carrots! The second? Mixed snow peas. Here’s more.

    Farmer Lee Jones: Insights into Summer Crops Versus Greenhouse Crops August 3, 2017

    Try to picture farmers from, say, 100 years ago visiting modern-day farms.

    It was a Summer day some 30 years ago… July 21, 2016

    Up before the sun and blurry from watching the clock and mentally re-checking his list of supplies every hour, Dad rose a bit grumpy but still looking forward to his trip to Decorah, Iowa. This time the trip was not for tractor parts, but to learn more about eggplants of all things!

    Summer Squash June 2, 2016

    Squash has a special place in our hearts, because it was a squash blossom that led us to grow for chefs. Squash has a thin and crisp skin that contains a tender, juicy flesh with a mild sweet and nutty flavor.
