The summer fruit is coming! Watermelons and cantaloupes as well as eggplant and many peppers are all ripening. This is the time of year when we look for new and exciting vegetables to add to our variety! We have Shiitake mushrooms back in stock with a Nice new package from our good friends. We hope you are all staying safe, healthy and well fed during this challenging time. It is difficult for us to navigate this crazy year. Currently, the hardest challenge for us is to figure out how to manage school and childcare in the coming weeks. We always look to the fall with great anticipation, but this year there is just so much uncertainty. This is part of why we decided to farm: to provide for our community during this era of upheaval and change. That mission will be our lighthouse to stay the course of whatever the world brings!

Farm Happenings for July 25, 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.
