by Ember Fleming | Aug 23, 2021 | From the Field

In this week’s video, I fill you in on one of the more interesting pests we find in our tomatoes: the tomato hornworm! I show you some signs to keep an eye out for so you can find them in your own gardens and then talk about a helpful beneficial insect that is a natural predator of the hornworm. Enjoy!

More pickup information

Please Carry In, Carry Out

There is no trash or recycling pickup at the farm. This means that all non-compostable trash must be taken away by volunteers, who transport it in their personal cars to their own homes for disposal. The same is true for recyclables. Please help us out by carrying out everything you carry in.
