Happy 2019!
Seems odd to be starting up again while it's so cold outside, but we've got crops to be harvested and eggs overflowing from our walk in!
Some of our partners haven't started back up yet, so I unfortunately don't have any pasta or much meat available this week. I'm making a trip ou1 read more »

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.
