This month we’re partnering with the Food Bank of Nevada County on a special Thanksgiving community food effort and we would love your support!!

On November 16th, Mountain Bounty Farm has a goal of providing 85 Small Boxes to the Food Bank’s home delivery program, bringing fresh, local produce to households in our community.

We’re inviting the community to join us by purchasing a box (or two!) to help make this possible. It’s a simple way to share the abundance of the season and help ensure that more of our neighbors have fresh, nutritious food on their tables this Thanksgiving. If you are checking out through our storefront, please be sure to choose The Food Bank of Nevada County as the delivery location.

Thank you for helping us spread the bounty!

This week we thought we would share some pictures (and a video!) of flora and fauna we share our fields with.

Dear friends,
Despite the shorter days of fall, we’ve got another hot week here, feels like summer. One last burst of heat (we hope). It’s tough. And this is always the driest time of year. The farm is an island of green in a crispy, powdery landscape. Which brings many hungry creatures. Thus we’ve got multitudes of songbirds pecking holes in our greens, Canada geese chomping bigger bites, and desperate deer somehow finding their way through our fences and grazing on succulent lettuce. In the past we’ve heard some complaints when there’s holey produce in the boxes. One of the best comments was “we don’t want to eat something that’s already been eaten.” Sorry about that! We share the sentiment, also prefer everything to be flawless, and do sort out as much damage as we can. Despite these miseries, the heat will likely extend tomato harvest to the end of this month. We’ll be hanging on and praying for rain.

Cauliflower harvest has commenced! The bees in our "Bee Mix" (pollinator flowers we plant at the end of many of our rows) have been doing their job nicely, gracing us with these beautiful, tightly packed florets.

Fall on the farm means harvest time in the fields. Peppers, melons, and tomatoes slowly give way to later-season crops like cabbage, carrots, potatoes, leafy greens, leeks, and more. There is so much abundance right now, all reflecting the hard work of the crew throughout the summer.

It’s an exciting time to be a farmer, and we hope some of that excitement comes through when you open your CSA box these days. Enjoy!

-Becky and the Mountain Bounty Crew

Last week I wrote about change and the changing season. But this week is the actual equinox. The equinox is both the day when day and night are the same length, and the time with the most rapid and dramatic seasonal shift of the year. Many times before I’ve noted this, and how profoundly these changes affect the farm. So, apologies for the repetition, but I can’t help it. The way our days seem to suddenly shift is always a marvel. I don’t get tired of it. After all, there are only so many of these we get to see.

A quick refresher. During the few weeks before and after the equinox, the rate of day length change accelerates. At our latitude during this time, we are losing about 2.5 minutes of daylight per day. During the month surrounding the equinox, we lose an hour and 10 minutes of daylight, which is why we notice it. In contrast, during the time around the solstices, daylight changes less than 5 seconds per day, and only about 4 minutes during a whole month, so it can seem like summer or winter are unchanging.

On the farm, we’ve been hearing Sandhill cranes making their migration. And production slows. We still have abundant harvests, but they are based in the past, we are running on the fumes of summer. Since plant growth is totally dependent on temperature and day length, by the equinox we have finished planting for the year. By late September or early October, plant growth rates will slow to almost zero. Crops that are left in the field will be essentially just sitting there, and only ripening or growing very slightly. And we cycle onward, necessarily toward times of rest, before it can begin again.

Did you know that this is a really, really great group of people growing local food? And if you choose this option for your sustinence, your community is stronger? They play great music, work really hard, and are just plain nice. If things feel complicated and scary, just know that such people exist and would love to share some veggies they grew.
