And just like that, fall is upon us. And while for many gardeners things are wrapping up, we are in our second spring doing a lot of planting, preparing the high tunnels for fall-winter growing, and setting up the greenhouse for winter production. Our goal this year is to have a good enough supply of storage crops and meats to sell at the farmers market and (ahem) our farm store during the winter months. We are also considering doing a short-term CSA in the spring, but this is all contingent on what we are able to produce in the next few months. Meanwhile, I have a favor to ask. If you have CSA boxes laying around, please make an effort to return them to us. We have used our supply of boxes for this year and would prefer not ordering another shipment before the end of the CSA season. Blessings from the homestead.
About the farm
We are a small family farm located in Grottoes, Virginia, serving the city of Harrisonburg and the counties of Rockingham, Augusta, and Greene. We produce high-quality food using sustainable practices and ethical principles of care for the common good. Having witnessed the healing power of good food in dealing with family health issues, we started farming in 2015 in an effort to sharing with others the benefits of fresh, nutritionally-dense food, grown in a clean environment, using integrative agricultural methods. We believe that in order for food to be healthful, the environment in which it grows has to be healthy. To that end, we integrate animal and plant systems in ways that, in their natural interactions, they create an ecological balance leading to abundance and quality.
We grow over 50 different vegetable crops, perennial vegetables and fruits, and raise pastured pork, as well as ducks and chickens, for meat and eggs.
