Our daughter heard an NPR story about the possible earliest known cultivated crops: figs! They were found in the ruins of an 11,400-year-old house, if you can imagine that. So, all you fig growers out there: we’re in good company.

The 2006 season is officially open now!

We will be at the High Bridge Farmer’s Market when it opens later this spring.

We’re usually competing with the birds for figs this ripe; squirrels and chipmunks like to steal them,too, and they’re wasteful…usually they only eat a tiny bit and drop the rest of the fig.
