This is turning into an abundant fall season! We are having lots of Salad items to go with the staples of fall. Lettuces, radishes, microgreens....Arugula will be coming soon. Keeping our eye out for the first frost of the year. feels like it will come early...although it has not hit us yet! When it does we will have to act quickly on any remaining sweet potatoes in the ground. If the leaves get burnt by frost it can actually damage the roots and we have a lot left in the field. Winter is coming!

Farm Happenings for October 6, 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.
