- Cilantro
- Sweet Peppers
- Onions

- In order to prevent the sweet corn and popcorn from cross-pollinating, we grow the sweet corn at my Uncle Rodney’s place in Nowthen, where my dad Darwin grew up.
- Corn doesn’t get fresher than this!
- Dad and Rod chat about last weekend’s threshing show in Nowthen while admiring the pile of corn in the truck.
- This Sunflower’s head is bigger than mine!
- Alyssa with a giant cucumber smile, and Carter enjoying a tomato.
- Ooo La La! Not only does Natalie help harvest your food each week, she is also our hottie model!

I am off to Orcas Island, WA for a week for a friend’s wedding. If you have questions or need to get a hold of us this week, please email my dad Darwin at ReimannFarm (at) yahoo (dot) com. I will hopefully be back in time to help with the delivery next week, lucky #13, but your food will be harvested on Sunday by Darwin, Maggie, and Natalie. THANKS to them all for letting me sneak away in the middle of peak harvest season!
