3 weeks left of CSA.....AND we are FINALLY Getting some carrots in the boxes. What a year it's been for carrots....This planting we are harvesting now is our FIFTH time we seeded them. That's a lot of failures! One thing I have learned though is that you can't take failure too personally....there is always an opportunity to learn and grow. This year I have learned that we are needing to invest in some better equipment to prepare soil for carrots. This is important staple crop for us! We love carrots and know that you all do too, so enjoy!

Farm Happenings for October 17, 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.
