Welcome to the last month of our Full season Veggie CSA! This is always an interesting time on the farm. The work of harvest continues full on, but the weeds aren't as robust and the weather tends to cool off. We are doing some construction work on our cattle barn this week, and continuing to harvest lots of sweet potatoes for you guys. (These should sweeten up in storage, even more than they are now). Every year we look forward to our CSA picnic in October, but unfortunately CoVid is going to keep us from hosting this season. Also, this is the time of year to make sorghum, but our crop just did not produce this year so we aren't going to have any for sale....its a bummer. On the bright side the weather makes a huge difference for us and everyone is feeling bright and sunny these last several weeks. We hope you are too.

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.
