The summer heat started earlier than usual this year. May was a little scary because it was so hot and dry. We are listed in the severe drought range like much of Texas, but we’ve had rain over the last couple of weeks that has made the farm erupt with new veggies. The Cowtown Neighborhood Markets have started for the summer and Opal’s Farm is having a banner year. Sales have been up and, most importantly, our local neighborhoods are getting fresh, local produce! We’re always at Cowtown Farmers Market on Saturday morning and be on Thursdays for the remainder of the summer.

Wow! Look at your farm go (er… grow!)! Won’t the pumpkins be done too early? Will they store?

Believe it or not but this variety (they’re huge) takes all summer to get to size and begin to ripen. We’re hoping to have a pumpkin carving contest with the neighborhood kids!
