Welcome to Winter Shares! We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family. Things are quieter around the farm these days but we were able to get all three hoophouses framed up before Thanksgiving. We'll work on them here and there throughout the winter, as weather permits, and get them done in time for spring planting. Much of the activity outside these days is in our old pumpkin patch were we grew the winter squashes and, of course, pumpkins. The pigs are out there eating what's left and enjoying the feast! I guess we could say they're having a Thanksgiving of their own! Haha! OFFERINGS THIS WEEK include HOMEGROWN Sweet Potatoes which we're really excited about. It's taken us 4 years to get something harvestable but we've finally succeeded! :) Plus there's plenty of winter squash, potatoes, onions, and lots of cold hardy greens. Last but not least, Lizzy will be making Gingerbread cookies this week. We'll be using another "healthyish" recipe made with organic wheat flour, coconut sugar and blackstrap molasses. Yum! :)

About the farm
We left the hustle and bustle of city life to raise our children in the country. Getting into agriculture is a decision we've never regretted! Now we lovingly grow fresh food together as a family on our small farm. It's food we trust, and you can too! We want to feed our children the best we can, so we grow high-quality fruits, vegetables, and meats - everything from Arugula to Zucchini; Chicken and pork! - all free of chemicals, synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. We'd love to share what we grow with you!
