Lots of variety again this week. Spaghetti squash and green beans making their appearance. Also, Swiss chard is coming back, though our fall greens are looking really rough right now due to bugs and TOO MUCH RAIN. We are still super wet and looking for a break so we can plant some more out there. Also, we are taking cuttings right now for next years strawberry crop. Those plants need to go in the ground middle-end of September. Stay safe everyone~!

Farm Happenings for August 25, 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.
