Wow! It got hot just in time for the 4th of July! This week is a big change from the clouds and cooler temps. Warm Weather crops are going to love it for sure. Eggplants watermelon and the sweet potato patch...these are all still small but should grow well with the heat. AND TOMATOES Make an appearance this week....finally ripening in the warm sun. As for us, we will carry on this week despite the temperatures and the holiday! Hope you have a great week.

Farm Happenings for July 6, 2019
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.
