Here we are in the third week of CSA. It got really hot this last week! In the heat, the broccoli really grew fast and the lettuce too so we have those in abundance this week. If you get strawberries in your share this week you are among the lucky....the season is over for them. We always look forward to those sweet treats! The combination of the heat and the rain are really making things grow, and keeping out crew super busy working those long hours of summer time. Our crew is super this season and we are grateful to have them willing to help us grow this food for you.

Veg Farm Happenings for June 9, 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.
