It's already the end of July!?

​A few quick updates as somehow it's already mid July, and the days are ticking by! 

  • Fruit trees are on auto-pilot - we picked a total of 4# of cherries, and 8 nectarines (birds ate about 20 while we were gone on a long weekend), not much, but far better than last year's zero! Plums are next - be ready for some fun cocktail specials at KickStand!
  • Tomatoes are growing fast - we planted 9 Black Krim, of which last year we got about 40# per plant - YAY for Heirlooms! We've got LOADS of green tomatoes on vine right now...about 90 so far.
  • We started a massive irrigation project back in April - re-working our current farm irrigation, and installing 5 more acres of in-ground sprinklers, from scratch, just Nick and I. What was supposed to be "simple" re-work of pumps, filters + cistern turned into two-months of what I consider "Irrigation hell" and eventually a very small, but massive win. We picked up the project again before we left for Whistler a week ago, and we now have almost 1 acre installed!
  • KickStand is summertime rockin' busy - we're finally full staffed, and have an amazing team. Thankful to be a barista and work amongst such a rad crew while managing and operating our business.
  • Our annual "Blackberry Cobbler" pilgrimage is fast approaching - pedaling over 100 miles and 10k climbing over Lolo Pass to ZigZag Cafe for Cobbler, then home. 
  • Our community MTB Rides are back! If you're local or just passing through, join us at KickStand every Wednesday for an intermediate mountain bike ride leaving from KickStand, pedaling to Post Canyon for a purely social no-drop shred. Don't worry, we're back in time to cheers beers and listen to live music!
  • We are headed back to Whistler in a few days - it'd been about 4 years since we were last there, and it's so nice to see old friends, hit big jumps and challenge ourselves in steep, tech terrain. Anyone around Wed-Sun? :)
