Gearing up for the best season ever!
We've "shopped" for seeds for months, poring over seed catalogs like kids looking for toys. At last we had our seed orders ready after going over our farm plan again and again, and making adjustments based on last season. We have many tried and true favorite seed varieties now, but it's1 read more »

Fall Week #3 - Baby it's cold outside!

Garden Cleanup is on! Fall Shares Week #2
It's that time of year! Time to clean up much of the garden. We've been pulling up tomato, pepper and corn plants, plus burning the vine plants to kill off as much of the squash bugs as we can.

Summer Extended Week 3 - Fall, here we come!
Fall is just around the corner and the temps are dropping! Earlier this week we covered over all the basil in the garden to make sure we didn't lose it. Basil is very tender and is usually the first crop to succumb to the chillier evenings. We have frost fabric and our hoophouses to help us k1 read more »
Summer Extended Week 2 - Lots of excitement on the horizon!
The garden is finally in full production! The summer squash, tomatoes, peppers, and onions are abundant! We're holding back on carrots, beets, turnips and other crops so we can save them for the Fall shares.

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!
