SHIITAKES are still coming strong. On the fruit side, we are seeing some cantaloupes coming in this week, which is always exciting. this fruit like watermelons are a challenge to grow because we can't always know what's going on inside the melon until they are cut open. Green peppers are still green, but starting to see come color out there in the pepper patch hoping for some red ones next week. We appreciate the cooler weather as we pass the halfway point of the season!

Farm Happenings for August 3, 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.
