The sweet corn will be coming along soon (and we hope the coyotes are chasing the deer away and not just snacking for themselves) and the onions are1 read more »
Welcome to the Summer 2021 CSA Season Week 6! (week of July 26, 2021)
Coming out of a 5 inch rain deficit this spring, we have swung to a flood stage, with over 12 inches of excess precipitation in the past 2 weeks.

As we enter into this final week of pick-ups for our 2020 season, we are both amazed at how long of a year this has been as well as how fast it seems to have gone by. At this time a year ago, we had no idea what changes would come upon all of our lives within the past 9 months. Wh1 read more »
