Denim & Diamonds Farm to Table Dinner

On September 21st an amazing group of people gathered at SIW in support of the Cancer Support Community of Delaware. A little bit about the Cancer Support Community is they are a non-profit with the mission to ensure that all people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action, and sustained by community. 

Tara Taylor was the mind behind all the beautiful decor while Michele Centrella Harra pulled all the details together in organizing this event. Wild Thyme beautifully crafted flower arrangements to add that special touch. 

Chef Robert Lhulier of Robert Lhulier Cuisine prepared a spectacular menu with fruits and vegetables from SIW. Caffe Gelato was on point with catering and keeping everything moving along perfectly! Of course we were head over heels with the wine that Penn Woods Winery provided and poured through the night!

It was a fantastic event and night and we are beyond honored to have been part! All photos were taken and provided by Kelli Wilke Photography and all the photos from the night can be viewed here.

We're officially open for the season!

The crops on the farm are coming along slowly but surely. A few things are a little behind from the late cold, 2 week stretch of rain and then the crazy burst of heat. The weather seems to be balancing out now so we are well on our way.

Tomatoes have some good size, just waiting on them to ripen!

We have a lot of growth and green in the fields. We're patiently awaiting everything to ripen to be harvested. HG and the crew haven't harvested much just yet. CSA members please be patient, the good stuff is coming! This week we have garlic scapes.

Squash in the fields! A few more DAYS and it'll be the perfect size for picking!

A peek at the corn!

June begins a lot of happenings on the farm! We have the Farm Tour, Wild Edibles Walk, and then the Field to Fork Dinners begin in July! We're extremely excited to see everyone this summer!!

It's almost time!

The warmer temperatures are reminding us that it's getting close to opening day!

There's been a lot happening on the farm in the last couple weeks. Fingers crossed we won't have any sudden cold snaps like we did with the freak snow day a little while back. The green house is bursting with growth, which means things are starting to be transplanted into the fields.

Another exciting happening is the first sweet corn has been planted in the fields! We all LOVE HG's sweet corn. This is a good sign that the stand will be opening soon. The corn has been planted and covered with what looks like a large blanket, and in theory, it is just that! This large cover helps heat the soil which aids in germination and emergence of the corn.

First Sweet Corn of the season in the fields

All this talk of tomatoes and sweet corn is making us ready for summer! The stand will open on June 1st! We also have a few events on the calendar for everyone to check out.  The Field to Fork dinners have been announced and we can't wait! We also have a volunteer opportunity on Saturday, April 30th for our Crop Mob with the DCH. If you'd like to volunteer, email us at siwveggies@gmail.com no later then Wednesday, April 27th to let us know.

Dr. Martin Lima Bean Succotash | 2015 Field to Fork Dinner

We're excited to get the 2016 season rolling and share all the delicious fruits and vegetables with you and your families!

Tomatoes, tomatoes & more tomatoes!

We have heirlooms, cherries, plums and more varieties well on their way!

(Planting heirloom tomato varieties under low tunnels in the fields)

The tomatoes are well on their way, some varieties even have flowers already! We're keeping our fingers crossed that Spring is truly here and we don't have any more cold snaps. The garlic and onions are coming along nicely as well. This all means one thing for us...

(Garlic coming along nicely in the field)

We're so close to opening day of the stand! June 1st is opening day at the stand! We're working hard to get all the veggies and flowers ready.
