IMPORTANT: Swaps must be in by Tuesday at midnight this week! My awesome friend Asa at Local Lands, who happens to be my current brassica source, has to come up to Atlanta a day early to take his wife to an OB/GYN appointment. So we're shifting the schedule back a day so that y'all can1 read more »

We have musical pigs! Well, technically they're Idaho Pasture Pigs, but they have musical names. Two females we're calling Piggy Gaga and Cardi P, and a male who's getting the moniker Justin Boarber. :D

About the farm
I farm because I believe that feeding someone is the most fundamental way to make an impact in the world. We are what we eat, and I do my best to make sure that I’m growing nutrient rich food that tastes amazing and powers my people to live their best lives.
