It has been really dry! we are doing all we can do keep things watered but the ponds are at about half capacity and its early in the summer. The lettuce looked pretty good despite the heat and the cabbage and potatoes are coming in. Tomatoes are trickling in too, still waiting for the big field crop to come in. We hope we get a good shower soon as we have already planted the fall carrots. The seeds need some rain to germinate.

Farm Happenings for July 5, 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.
