Garlic Harvest 2024!
We went into garlic harvest this season with a fair amount of trepidation. June was the wettest June our area has ever experienced for as long as they've recorded precipitation data. Some of our garlic was underwater for multiple days. We didn't know what we would find when we dug it. I'm happy to1 read more »

Tunnel Tomato Trellising (and pruning)

How Farmer Dan Creates Your Farm Shares
One of our favorite features of our CSA is that it's customizable. We get it: there are just certain vegetables that you just don't like no matter how many times you try them and how many different ways you prepare them. For farmer Dan that vegetable is radish. It's just not my thing. That's why we1 read more »
Kicking Off Our 2024 CSA Season!
A quick refresher on our "Farm Happenings" in Harvie: they're are essentially short blog posts about things that are happening on the farm.

About the farm
Cedar Crate Farm grows a wide variety of fruits and vegetables using holistic, sustainable practices. We take a lot of pride in bringing you fresh, healthy, and sustainable produce. We love sharing our love of high quality, tasty food with our community!
We use a variety of sustainable and regenerative practices so that we can leave the land in better shape than when we found it. We utilize cover crops so that our land is covered with living plant material for as much of the season as possible. Cover crops also provide valuable habitat for insects and pollinators. We don't use synthetic chemicals on our farm and we seek to improve our land each year.
We believe that food is medicine and that the better you eat, the healthier you will be. Whole, unprocessed foods are one of the best ways to eat well and stay healthy. We don't spray our produce with synthetic chemicals so you always know exactly what you're eating.
