Well, this is a big transition time for us! The last of the crops for the season are being planted now.....the watermelon and cantaloupe are all done for the season.....kids are back in school. Things are definitely shifting. The share will also look a bit different now. the small and early winter squashes will start to make their appearance. You have already seen Spaghetti and Red Kuri Kabocha. Also, we have a new one to the mix this year called Jester (it looks a lot like one of our acorn squashes with cream and green markings). But this new squash (see description) is a hybrid delicata squash. Many folks asked for Delicata, and so we found this one. You can expect delicata squash flavors with a shape more like an acorn squash. Also, a standard green acorn squash is now available too. Let us know how you like these!

Farm Happenings for August 23, 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.
