If you missed our introduction to Appalachian Mountain Organics, this is the soil side of what we’ve spent more than 35 years learning as growers.

As you look back at this season, think about what your garden told you:

Refresh what worked. Rebuild what didn’t. Expand what wasn’t enough.

If you’re planning raised beds for next year, message Appalachian Mountain Organics with your bed dimensions and what you plan to grow. They’ll help you determine the right product and amount.

Follow Appalachian Mountain Organics for more fall soil and garden-planning guidance.

YOUR GARDEN ALREADY TOLD YOU WHAT IT NEEDS NEXT YEAR.

Before you put this growing season behind you, take a look at what your garden told you.

REFRESH what worked.
If your raised beds produced well but settled or lost volume through the season, fall is a good time to restore the growing layer and prepare them for another year.

REBUILD what didn’t work.
If a bed compacted, dried out too quickly, drained poorly or simply didn’t perform the way you expected, don’t wait until planting season to address the growing environment.

EXPAND what wasn’t enough.
If you spent the summer wishing you had another bed for tomatoes, peppers, herbs or vegetables, build it now and start spring with a bed that’s already ready to plant.

At Appalachian Mountain Organics, our growing media and soil systems are built from a grower’s perspective — informed by more than 35 years of organic growing experience at Summer Creek Farm.

NEXT SEASON STARTS WITH THE SOIL.

For more than 35 years, Summer Creek Farm has grown certified organic produce for our community. Every season reinforces the same lesson: what happens above ground starts with what happens below it.

That experience is behind Appalachian Mountain Organics, our growing media and soil business built from a grower’s perspective.

As this growing season winds down, now is the time to think about the next one:

• Refresh what worked. Restore soil volume lost through the season and prepare productive beds for another year.
• Rebuild what didn’t work. If your garden struggled, use fall to improve the growing environment before spring planting arrives.
• Expand what wasn’t enough. If you wished you had another bed this year, build it now and have it ready for spring.

Planning next year’s beds?

Message Appalachian Mountain Organics with your bed length × width × depth, tell us whether the bed is new or existing, and what you plan to grow.

We’ll help you determine the right AMO product and how much you need.

A fresh harvest of Summer Creek Farm certified organic bi-color sweet corn is arriving today at MOM’s Organic Market locations across Maryland, D.C. & Virginia.

🌽 Maryland-grown. Certified organic. Now at MOM’s Organic Market.

We’re proud to have Summer Creek Farm certified organic bi-color sweet corn available at MOM’s Organic Market locations across Maryland.

Sweet corn is one of those crops that can look simple once it reaches the produce department, but growing it organically takes careful management from planting through harvest. W**d control is more hands-on, insect pressure can be persistent, and getting the crop to perform well depends on good timing, fertility, moisture, and plenty of attention in the field.

That makes a strong organic corn harvest particularly rewarding.

And for us, there is something especially meaningful about seeing corn grown here in Maryland travel from our fields to stores across the state.

We appreciate MOM’s Organic Market for supporting regional organic agriculture and helping connect Maryland shoppers with food grown close to home.

At Summer Creek Farm, we believe a successful harvest is about more than what goes to market. It’s also an opportunity to share good food with the community we call home.

We’re proud to support FCF Church and its food bank program in Frederick by donating fresh, certified organic produce from our farm throughout the growing season.

So far this season, we’ve donated hundreds of pounds of certified organic zucchini and tomatoes, helping put fresh, locally grown produce into the hands of individuals and families in our community. As the season continues, we plan to keep sharing our extra harvest whenever we have produce available to give.

We’re grateful for the work FCF Church does to serve our Frederick community and for the opportunity to contribute to that work in a way that comes naturally to us — by growing and sharing good food.

When our fields give us more, we’re glad to share the harvest.
