Broccoli, Cauliflower and squash are all starting to pop! if you don't see them in your share this week, don't worry we planted plenty of both. There was a lot of rain this week, but we are still holding out hope that the carrots won't rot in the ground. These things happen, but we don't know what to expect until it dries out. Peas are happening!!! and the lettuce carries on in the heat....green tomatoes are forming on the plants, and potatoes are sizing up. Its all happening this time of year!

Farm Happenings for June 15, 2021
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.
