Well friends, the summer monotony has set in for us for sure. It always makes this time a year a challenge. Still holding out hope for some fun delicious crops in the next couple weeks (okra, corn, melons), and without them it makes things feel a little bit lean out here. If we don't see those crops coming in there is a chance we will take off a week in August to try and reset the farm (and ourselves) for the fall. You will get an email if that needs to happen. At least the humidity came down a whole lot! Makes the heat a lot more tolerable. Hope you enjoy this time before kids go back to school...hard to believe that Cedar starts kindergarten in about 1 week!

Farm Happenings for July 30, 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.
