Hey Friends, its back to school time! Okra and Pepper season are here. We are gonna try a new packaging with the okra this year.....we have had trouble with the compostable bags in the past so we are just going to keep the okra Loose in the box. Hopefully this will keep it from getting slimy. This is one of my favorite crops! Raw, lightly roasted....all the ways. The peppers are kinda small this year but still great flavor. Feels like we could get another hot spell since summer isn't over yet, but we are enjoying the cool weather.

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.
