Community members recently got together to add automatic ventilation to our “Mark Ward” recycled glass greenhouse. Peter installed a louver on the west side, and Lynn and TJ installed a fan on the east side. The fan operates off a thermostat and will automatically come on when the greenhouse gets too hot. This will really help during our spring and fall seasons when the weather is so variable and we can’t just open or close the manual vents and door.

Garlic and grapes. We pickled and put away the scapes, and had a couple rounds of garlic scape pesto.

Thank you, Ed for sharing this magical moment after the storm yesterday. Several of us at Stowe Farm tried to capture it, but didn’t do it justice.

Life up here at Stowe Farm Community is "berry nice" around this time of year as we fill our bowls with fresh picked blueberries and raspberries from our planned gardens and harvest some of the wild blackberries too. More garden goodies and all about us at www.stowefarm.org

Summer's bounty rolling in with plenty of cucumbers to share in community for pickling, salads, and simply as a super crisp snack!

A busy bee in the summer season in Lynn's flower garden. We too are busy at Stowe Farm Community harvesting veggies and berries from the gardens and putting food by to enjoy throughout the rest of the year. More at www.stowefarm.org

Lynn had a beautiful sunflower in her gorgeous gardens this year. On this day the birds were singing as the sunflower swayed in the gentle summer breeze and the clouds rolled by in the blue, blue sky. Simply splendid! More connections to nature at www.stowefarm.org

Thank you, Ed for sharing this magical moment after the storm yesterday here at Stowe Farm Community.

Harley's butterfly garden is attracting the guests she had hoped for with many blooms available in the sweet summer sun.

Berries are ripening throughout our community in the hot summer sun. Some folks have their own home grown patches and there are wild ones to be picked by both humans and the local black bear!

The babbling brook that runs parallel to our community is lush with all sorts of glowing greens throughout the summer. A sweet spot to cool off on a hot summer's day!

Peter has a grafting project going on one of the apple trees in our old orchard. Time will tell how it turns out - stay tuned!

The summer storms have been passing through multiple times each week as the heat and humidity have arrived. We are glad of the rain for the fields and gardens. More at www.stowefarm.org

A few apples continue to grow in the summer sun out in the old orchard here at Stowe Farm Community. Some may be used for cider in the autumn. Sweet!

We are surrounded by lush greens and sunshine as summer is in full swing here at Stowe Farm Community. Plenty of open spaces to walk in nature. Discover more at www.stowefarm.org
