Hope you are enjoying the cool Back-to-school weather. This is always an interesting time of year for us as folks begin to shift their schedule into fall mode. Everyone comes off of Vacation season and we definitely see a shift in the markets. I personally like this time of year especially if it is not too hot. It starts the fall transition time that will be in full effect in a couple weeks. Still plenty of time for hotter weather for sure! But plants are maxed out on their summer growth and the later season crops start to make an appearance. Enjoy the share this week!

Farm Happenings for August 15, 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.
