Man, it got hot this week. If we are lucky the summer lettuce won't melt down! Potatoes are making an appearance this week along with Sweet Candy Onions. These are a good combo for sure.....or if you are in to carmelizing onions with squash, these onions can make those dreams come true. Tomatoes are still just trickling in...no volume yet, as the field tomatoes are not yet coming on strong. Baby carrots make an appearance too, and beets are an option for some. This is peak summer weather and we hope to have watermelon and sweet corn in shares by the end of the month! We are drinking lots of water and hope you are too!

Veg Farm Happenings for July 7, 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.
