Don't forget to go to the extras page for Eggs and Shiitake Mushrooms this week. Looks like finally we are gonna get a much needed dry spell. We planted quite a bit before the rain last week but there are still lots of plants needing to go in the ground, and lots more cultivating to do after an explosion of weed growth. We are gonna try and harvest some of the hail damaged greens this week. Thinking they will grow back if we pick them good and get the broken leaves off the plant. So if you find a few holes in the Chard and collards this week believe me it was the best leaf we could find! Broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage all coming soon. Carrots, radishes and beets should make an appearance in the month of June. Have a great week everybody.

Farm Happenings for May 31, 2022
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.
