Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!!! We will be at the @downtownlsfarmersmarket Tomorrow with more pesto and a fresh batch of apple butter! Still no produce but we are getting close. Started picking a few handfuls of cherry tomatoes this week hoping they will produce enough to bring next weekend. Found our first tomato horn worm today. 😖 They are actually very pretty up close with their vibrant green color but they are very destructive. We watch for them on our daily walks in the garden and pick them off by hand. Luckily this guy had not done too much damage yet. 🐛
Weaving twine through the tomatoes as they grow. New way of trellising for us this year and so far it’s working great. We have 8 100 ft rows of tomatoes so this makes it much easier. This is my happy place.
Reason #1,001 that I love farmer Adam. This 4 1/2 foot black snake had been quietly hanging out in the back of the chicken coop for a few days which had not been a problem because he handles mice for us however when we open the coop door and he is hanging right in our face we have to draw the line. I also don’t prefer to reach in and grab eggs and instead grab a snake so Adam took care of the problem for me. We despise hurting any animal but unfortunately on the farm sometimes it has to be done for our safety and our pets or chickens. Last year we lost 8 baby chicks in one night to a snake about this size. 🐍🐍🐍 Also, we will not be at the market this weekend. We have some family activities planned. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
PESTO IS BACK!!!! The plants were finally big enough to cut and I just finished the first batch of the season of fresh peppery garlicky pesto! There’s a limited amount available so make sure you get to the Lee’s Summit farmers market early to grab some. Market opens at 7 AM and Adam will be there until 11:30. 🥚🥚Also, for this Saturday ONLY we will have eggs. We had not intended on selling eggs this year but we’ve had an abundance lately and will have some to bring this one time but they will also go quickly. 🥚🥚🥚 🥗Unfortunately we will not have any salad mix. All the rain really did a number on it and it will be a couple weeks before the new bed is ready to cut. if you would like us to reserve pesto or eggs for you please send us a message or email us at breeadam@sniktafarm.com. We will only be able to hold them until 10 AM and then will need to put them back into general sales. Looking forward to A beautiful Saturday at the market! We hate missing it so we’re glad to be back.
We will not be at the market tomorrow, the lettuce really suffered with too much rain this week but the Tomatoes are growing!!! Luckily they are not showing signs of water stress and in fact look amazing. Should have some ripe cherry tomatoes in a couple weeks! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Farmer Adam is here hiding from the rain waiting for it to clear put. Today is our 22 year anniversary since our first date. We never imagined we would be farmers together but I could not think of anything I would rather do or anyone I rather be with than this man. He’s hilarious, caring and smart and is my best friend. Even though the rain is dripping on us he still cracking jokes. 🙄 We have tomato plants today and more salad mix. I have to leave for work at 9:30 Adam will be here till about 11. Come visit him and get your tomato plants for your gardens!!! They will get plenty of rain this week!
