Fall Colors around the Farm

Posted on October 21st, 2023
We are officially at the end of the CSA season, and as they say, parting is such sweet sorrow.  All things considered, it's been a good season with several improvements on the farm, many positive connections made with members, and some record harvests on the books.  One of our improvement1 read more »

Transitions

Posted on October 14th, 2023
Our view of the world from the farm sometimes affords us a glance at nature's finest works.  A recent passing storm moved on to the east, and as the sun followed its path towards the western horizon, a magnificent chunk of rainbow appeared in the place where the light struck the water droplets1 read more »

The Packshed Matron wants YOU to eat your veggies!

Posted on October 7th, 2023
Karen Boerson is one of the farm's most loyal and long-standing volunteers.  Maybe it's because she's family, but aside from being Mat's mom, Karen truly enjoys her role on the vegetable crew.  No one has washed more greens, bagged more potatoes or stacked the bins any higher than she has1 read more »

While we were digging and bunching carrots in the rain this past week, the crew and I were reminded of the drought that had its grip on the farm for most of the season.  The stickiness of the mud and the clunkiness of our rain gear made the work more arduous, but knowing that water was seeping1 read more »

It's that time of year again.  The colors are changing.  There's a hint of fall in the air and the cool nights feel better for sleeping.  Shep's pumpkin harvest is underway and the orange and white fruits are stacked up on the wagon, ready for eager fall enthusiasts.  As he's do1 read more »

Rainbow Diet

Sweet

Posted on September 2nd, 2023
It's the moment that many mouths have been waiting for...the arrival of the sweet corn!  This marks season 3 of growing this a-maizing crop, and so far, this looks like it could be our best one yet!  We shoot for a late planting that yields at the end of August and goes strong (we hope!)1 read more »

Refresh

Posted on August 26th, 2023
This past week was a hot one on the farm, but our family managed to escape the heat for a few days in Newport State Park in Door County, where the wildlife outnumbers the humans.  There is definitely a micro climate that surrounds the peninsula, and we were fortunate enough to experience some1 read more »
