Sweet bulls horn peppers are beautiful this week, and the shiitakes are still raging! And well I have learned over the years that you can’t be good at everything! Sweet corn is currently our toughest crop to grow. We have never been able to master the combination of nitrogen, water and pest control to make it happen. So it’s not looking good. Organic corn is a pain. Onward we go and the kale and chard greens are looking good maybe available again in a couple weeks.

Farm Happenings for August 14, 2021
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.
