Well, this is the transition time for fall crops. Watermelon on the way out and butternut and fall greens on the way in. This time of year is always interesting. We made out final push this last week to get all seeds in the ground for our harvests this year. If you want to grow it in 2021, pretty much has to be in the ground by September 1, and that is just right around the corner. Shiitakes are huge right now....big enough to make a sandwich!

Farm Happenings for August 21, 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.
