This week is the first of September! School is underway, and hopefully the nights and days are cooling down significantly. August was a strange month for sure....so much rain. All the rain made the tomatoes go down hill super fast. We are hopeful to have a few more weeks left of tomato production but the hot rainy sessions in the middle of summer made disease just a nightmare for the tomato plantings. We are looking forward to the things that come this month....greens, sweet potatoes, ginger. Transition times are always a challenge, but the fall transition is always so welcome.

Farm Happenings for September 1, 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.
