A Little About the Farm & an Update

Since this is our first blog, I'll give you the low down on Gallo Family Farms:
-We are based out of Sanger, TX
-Everything that is grown is started with USDA certified organic seeds. 

We just want to be able to provide locally grown, fresh, organic produce; all our produce is available at the Denton's Farmers Market during the summer.  One of our main goals is to keep the dollars within Denton and provide a sense of community among growers.  We Denton Do It did a video featuring the owner of Gallo Farms, Joe Paul Gallo, check it out. Interview with Joe Paul Gallo by We Denton Do It

Right now we have Swiss chard, dinosaur & red Russian kale that is ready for harvest.  Today we planted Jupiter, red, and golden beets as well as crooked neck squash.  All of this is currently in our cold frame which has been very useful during some of these cold fronts we have been getting. 

Most of today included planting beets and squash and getting a lot of old plants pulled up.  Pretty soon the tilling will begin and new seeds will be getting put in.  Check back often, the blog will hopefully be updated once a week when the growing season really begins.
