Farm Happenings for August 13, 2019
Dear Farm Friends,
This week, more than most, I felt a deep desire to reconnect to what matters most. I hear the news and I feel like our species is getting so very lost. I watch myself as I go through my day on autopilot just trying to get the necessities checked off so that everyone has eat1 read more »

The farm is a-buzz.
This week has been and continues to be a special one for a number of reasons.
First off, Conner took Wendell backpacking for two nights. This was Wendell's first camping trip ever. That's what happens when you're a farm kid...They had an amazing time and while Conner was stuck c1 read more »

Good Morning!
What a week! Late June thunderstorms are such a treat. The whole farm was irrigated at once, and the cool temperatures are a relief to our freshly planted fall crops, and to your farmers. We even managed to sneak away as a family to see Raffi in Portland. He is a true master of1 read more »

Hi Farm Friends!
***Don't forget to swap things out if you'd like! You can fill your share with turnips- assuming there are some still available.***
As I write this I'm savoring the long day and appreciating the changes in seasons, day length, and life. On summer solstice we acknowledge transitions1 read more »

Welcome to our 2019 CSA season!
I mentioned in a recent email that we've been feeling pretty good about this year's flow. It's crazy how much stays the same and how much it feels like everything changes. Conner and I recently had a chance to walk the fields together and it felt so good. (It is a bi1 read more »
