Tonopah Rob's Vegetable Farm

If I were to gauge the economy upon the number of requests I have received to allow monthly payments to subscribe to my CSA with the most common complaint that a single large payment or even two smaller payments was proving too tough a hurdle, I would easily see that far too many people are feeling effected by our poor [...]

Your shopping days for farm fresh all-natural veggies at Tonopah Rob’s Vegetable Farm and Farmers Market are quickly disappearing. So don’t waste time, don’t sacrifice your taste buds, don’t abuse your waistline, go west – on the 10 freeway [...]

If it feels like Summer it must be time for squash. When I planted the squash I wasn’t having great hopes for an abundant harvest as I was coming off a near total crop failure for cabbage, dismal results for broccoli, and mediocre amounts of cauliflower in comparison to what was planted. Aphids are not [...]

As you can tell by the tip of your nose the weather has gotten colder which is a good thing for me.  The veggies are beginning to come on strong.  Soon I’ll have a few more root crops to add to the veggie boxes and tables.   A note to the CSA members-A CHANGE OF [...]

This week’s special: dry onion skins. Great prices on dusty dry onion skins, only at Tonopah Rob’s Vegetable Farm stand this Saturday!!! Just kidding everyone. I just loved this photo and had to share it with readers, and how else was I supposed to lead in to this week’s farm stand list using a photo [...]

Today we picked close to 400 pounds of ‘em. Friday morning we will harvest nearly 20 pounds of cherry tomatoes, both golden and red cherry. Our CSA or community [...]

Hello, veggie lovers! Today’s photo is from last Saturday’s farm stand market, showcasing green, purple, orange, and shades inbetween of the most beautiful bell peppers one might ever hope to lay eyes upon. This Saturday’s farm stand promises to be an amazing sight as well since Mother Nature has been doing her best to help deliver [...]

Another week is upon us and the veggies are still coming on strong, despite the ever increasing temperatures. With the onslaught of summer’s triple digit heat, standing under these blue tents out here can get quite warm, not just for us, but for the produce too. Starting this weekend my new farm stand hours are [...]

Pounds of onions have been put up as root stock for the next season’s planting. Garlic is laying out for next years crop. Yesterday, golden beet seed was gathered for this winter’s growing cycle. I also collect my own seeds for lettuce, peppers, radish, flowers, squash, melon, carrot, beans, eggplant, tomato, artichoke, and more. Today’s photo is of [...]

If you live anywhere else in America besides Arizona you might think it’s spring time, but here in the middle of the desert southwest, we are already in the throes of summer. Temperatures have crossed the hundred degree mark which we can now regularly expect for the next three months. While the lettuce may not like [...]

What a week it has been. The farm has a new more powerful roto-tiller as the old one recently broke, although there is hope the old one can be fixed. Birds and squirrels ate a good amount of squash seeds that were about to sprout, requiring a new planting and the frustrating acceptance that part of my [...]
