Hello again! it still feels like spring weather so far even going into June. We are loving the beautful days when it is sunny and nice for humans! As far as the plants go this spring has left a lot to be desired! Fields are still wet-wet-wet here and we have had some very narrow windows for planting (you can't get in the fields when its too wet). We do have a lot of vegetables in the ground, but those are going very slowly this spring--almost a month behind what it was this time last year. So bear with us if some of the bunches seem small right now. The more the sun shines and the weather warms up and drys up, the faster things will grow! We hope you are staying well--body, mind and spirit--during these challenging times.

Veg Farm Happenings for June 2, 2020
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.
