Have we now had too much rain? Hard to tell still...Things are sopping wet but not sure how the crops will take it. If it goes to 100 degrees again then things may start to wilt and struggle. Still getting some good harvests going with cantaloupes, eggplant and melons....okra is coming soon, as are peppers, which are late this year. Hang in there! Hard to know what these extreme weather swings will bring us, but we will stay resilient in the face of all this.

Farm Happenings for August 2, 2022
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.
