(1) Timely harvest.<\/h2>\n

  • \n
    Ready to eat!<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Picked at the right time of day, and the right time of the season<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    (2) Careful cleaning.<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • \n
      Gentle washing is usually needed to remove dirt and debris.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      (3) Appropriate cooling.<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • \n
        Most greens and brassicas need to be cooled immediately; we try to get them into the cooler within two hours of harvest.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n
      • \n
        Warm weather crops (tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and eggplants for example) cannot handle refrigerator temperatures; these need temps in the 50 - 60 degree range.\u00a0 We keep them in a separate storage area.<\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

        Row Covers<\/h2>\n

        Pests can destroy a beautiful vegetable in short order. We use row covers to keep the pests off our vegetables. \u00a0The cover is a light fabric, permeable to both air and water, yet hardy enough to withstand the elements.\u00a0 The row cover is supported, off the plants, with sturdy metal hoops.<\/h4>\n

        Greens, radishes, cauliflower, broccoli and cucumbers all thrive when grown under cover.\u00a0\u00a0Using row covers, we can\u00a0grow beautiful veggies without the need for chemical pesticides and sprays. \u00a0\u00a0The result? \u00a0Beautiful, tasty, healthy vegetables.<\/h4>\n

        Even children love them!<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
