Produce Season - Farmers Markets

Park Silly Sunday Market August 15th - Park City, Utah

Well after a week off from both Markets that we attend, we are back in the swing of things! It was a very wet morning in downtown Salt Lake yesterday, temps around 50 degrees! It was chilly but warmed up as the day progressed. It was a good day, and the heirlooms and gourmet squash are a big hit!

Moving right along / Floating Row Cover / Potting Up

There have been a lot of clouds hanging around this week, bringing rain and overcast days. We are ready for some sunshine and very grateful for what sun we've had.

Cory installed a 30 foot floating row cover yesterday for more space to store the seedlings once they are potted up. Another will be installed on Friday for even more space - once those babies are in their 4" pots they really take up a lot more room!

Carolyn has been working tirelessly on everything from emailing our great customers to potting up hundreds of tomato seedlings. Mom is in town from Florida and has been such a great help, as always! She is a whiz at labeling the pots and writing our plant tags, we were very efficient tonight and got a lot of work done. We are so busy and very happy to be, it truly is a labor of love and we make a great team.

Here are some photos of the new row cover being built, along with some other odds and ends!

Working Hard and Keeping the Plants Warm in this Cold Weather!

Well we have been busy as bees dealing with this cold weather. Keeping all of the plants warm and happy is a full time job! Early mornings and late nights here at Kenyon Organics. Here are some photos from the last few days including a Saturday delivery, a Sunday snowstorm, and our new pot labels that arrived! Keep smiling - pray for Spring! -Cory & Carolyn
