Blackberries

The blackberries are ready. Starting Monday July 20th we will open Monday thru Friday 8:00 till 12:00 (while supplies last). Keep checking the blog or our web page www.simpsonsfamilyfarm.com for updates.

Cabool Farmers Market

We had a great day at the Cabool Area Farmers Market on Wed. We had about 2 hours left till we were to go home and it started pouring rain and the wind was terrible. It blew over a box of blackberries. It didn't last long. The people were slow to come around after the rain (I just wonder if they thought that we all went home). Hope it don't storm next Wed.

onions

On Monday June 30 we pulled our onions.

This is before we pull them.

Here they are after we pull them.

We have all different sizes.

After we get them pulled we lay them

in the rows to field dry for about 3 days

(unless they call for rain). After that

we take them in to the greenhouse to

finish curing for about 2 to 3 weeks.

Here is the "crew" that was picking the onions.

I would have been in the picture but someone

has to run the camera.

K-State Field Trip

On Thursday June 25 we had the opportunity to have a group from the Kansas State Extension Office to come and tour our farm.

It was great to have them come down and see how we run our farm. Hope everyone had a good time even though the temperature was rather HOT.

Everyone always enjoys a hayride.
