Happy solstice this past Saturday. This marks the half way point of the year....so even though we are only 5 weeks into the 22 week CSA season, we have already been growing veggies for the past 5 months! We hope you are enjoying the Sugar Snap peas this week and last. They have been great used Raw or chopped into salad. Also, making their debut are Celery and Fennel. These both have strong flavor. Good thing about the Customizable share is that you can swap these out of your box if you don't prefer them! Carrots beet tomatoes and cucumbers are all just around the corner with small amounts beginning soon!

Veg Farm Happenings for June 23, 2020
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.
