Wow, well, it just won't quit raining! Anybody have a flooded basement? I (Adam) like to take a long-term geological perspective when possible, and found this discussion on BBC at 4:30 am as I was driving to town for Saturday delivery. It talks about a longer term trend over the last 500 years of increasing rainfall. The rain hasn't affected the animals as much since they live on grass pastures where rain can be absorbed by the growing grass...Thank you all for your encouragement as we continue forward with this season!

Farm Happenings for June 25, 2019-1
About the farm
We are a seventh generation family farm, raising certified organic vegetables for CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) and Farmers Markets. We also raise pastured chicken, 100% grassfed beef and offer pastured pork. We raise food with the intention of taking care of the land: growing healthy soil, healthy plants, healthy animals, and healthy people. Since we are a seventh generation family farm, caring for the land and soil for our children and the next seven generations is at the forefront of our farming practices. We nourish the soil with compost from our farm, and other natural ways to bring nutrients and minerals back to the land to improve the health of the soil, land and crops. We work to maintain a balanced, healthy soil to help grow healthy plants and food. We see our farm as part of a larger community-- a network of people who are interdependent with each other. We grow healthy food for our family, friends and community.
