Farm Happenings at Cedar Crate Farm
Trialing Microgreens!
Truth be told we would likely not be trialing microgreens if we were still harvesting lettuce but this early winter/late fall proved to be too cold for the lettuce to survive. We are bummed out about this but it also offered an opportunity to try something new with tools and supplies we already had1 read more »
Cleaning Up The Winter Tunnel
The winter tunnel was cut a little short this year due to consistent below average cold the week before Thanksgiving. This is always one of the risks and challenges with winter growing and, more broadly, farming in general. Luckily, we were able to harvest and store some baby cabbages, kohlrabi, an1 read more »
Keeping On In the Winter Tunnel
This is the time of year where things really slow down on the farm both in terms of growing plants but also work needing to be done on the farm. The main bit of farm work we're doing now is our daily tunnel chores which include doing a crop check, removing our frost protection and assessing how lon1 read more »
Season End Projects & Improvements
Our late fall season is filled with projects with everything from pulling up landscape fabric, to cleaning and organizing supplies that we will reuse next season. This week we're working on our caterpillar tunnels.
We've been lucky this fall with quite a few really nice days so that we could make s1 read more »
Garlic Planted!
This past week we were able to get next seasons garlic planted amidst snow flurries and windy, chilly weather. It was the perfect end cap to our 2022 planting season as we are truly done planting for the year now that the garlic is in the ground.
It might surprise you to learn that we plant our gar1 read more »

We're eagerly anticipating our first ever winter shares here on the farm and we are very pleased with how our winter tunnel looks! Our winter tunnel is full of cold tolerant crops including kohlrabi, broccoli, lettuce, cabbage, arugula & winter greens, radish and spinach. Based on our trials th1 read more »
First Frost of 2022
We've had our first frost of fall 2022 here on the farm this past week. The first frost makes for some big changes on the farm and marks the beginning of the end of the season. Warm weather crops like basil, tomatoes, peppers, & green beans do not survive the frost and are done for the season w1 read more »
Saying Goodbye to Caitlyn
This week we said goodbye to Caitlyn who's been an integral part of our farm for 3 seasons. Caitlyn started working with us in 2020 with a goal of learning how to farm so that she could one day start her own farm. She was with us through the pandemic, as we built our new pack shed and as we welcome1 read more »
Planting the Last Seeds of 2022
It's official: we're finally done planting for the 2022 season with one exception. On Friday we planted the last seeds of this season into our large tunnel. Crops included spinach, radish, arugula and our greens mix. We won't be harvesting these until the second half of October and they're crops wh1 read more »
About the farm
Cedar Crate Farm grows a wide variety of fruits and vegetables using holistic, sustainable practices. We take a lot of pride in bringing you fresh, healthy, and sustainable produce. We love sharing our love of high quality, tasty food with our community!
We use a variety of sustainable and regenerative practices so that we can leave the land in better shape than when we found it. We utilize cover crops so that our land is covered with living plant material for as much of the season as possible. Cover crops also provide valuable habitat for insects and pollinators. We don't use synthetic chemicals on our farm and we seek to improve our land each year.
We believe that food is medicine and that the better you eat, the healthier you will be. Whole, unprocessed foods are one of the best ways to eat well and stay healthy. We don't spray our produce with synthetic chemicals so you always know exactly what you're eating.
