Well, since it Rained basically for 3 weeks straight we have greens and lettuce! seemed like we had some bad luck with these plantings back in July....things were hot and the bugs got them pretty fast, but the rainy August we had made up for the rough start. On the flip side, it means the normal dry month when we prepare ground for fall cover crops just hasn't happened. We need to plant the strawberries and garlic still this month and plant many acres of cover crops (rye grass primarily). All in all though we think this season is still going strong, and hope you are enjoying your shares.

Farm Happenings for September 8, 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.
