It got hot finally! Summer is here with the arrival of the Strawberry Moon last Saturday. Things are warming up and so we are starting to see our first crops of Cauliflower, Beets, and broccoli! The spring peas are filling out in the heat as well and the summer crops are starting to make an appearance with the first Yellow Squash.......In the heat tomatoes, corn and beans are all growing right along, though still very small.

Farm Happenings for June 6, 2023
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.
