Welcome to the Kentucky Swamp season! Very warm humid conditions are making it a challenge to keep the crops disease free. We can get some fungal issues with too much water. Hoping that the first watermelon crop will pull through as the fruit continues to mature but there does seem to be some wilting leaves out there which is not a good sign. Tomatoes are coming in pretty strong though!! and we have some sweet corn to offer! Corn taste is sweet and good although the ears a smaller than we would like. Hope you enjoy!

Farm Happenings for July 18, 2023
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.
