Farm Happenings at Sustainable Harvest Farm
Efficiencies
Some days I think of how cool it would be if I had a huge farm that was right out the back door. I wouldn't have to do creative things like carry 2 pieces of equipment and a bike on one tractor. However- If I owned hundreds of acres, I doubt that I'd be able to develop as many close relationships w1 read more »
Dream Team
Here's a great picture of a great team. I sure wish that we could have hosted a farm tour this year so that you could meet everyone. But better to play it safe-There's always next year
The count down has begun- We have 3 weeks of CSA deliveries left. The guys have not seen their families Sinc1 read more »
Why so much Hype on Strawberries?
I was chatting with a friend this week about experimenting with a new variety of strawberry that would produce all season long. She said... "Don't you strawberries would loose their magic if people had them all year?" Good point I thought and the guys are all tired of picking them when they stop pr1 read more »

Week 16
Here's a picture of the wonderful team at SHF. Now that Amanda is back in the college professor mode, Silas, Josiah, and Finley are spending a lot more time in the fields with all of us. We are so fortunate to have a wonderful group of guys here. I could not imagine having to leave my family for mo1 read more »
Week 15
I've received some of the most thoughtful emails over the last week and it thrills my soul to know that the food we grow has helped families incorporate more fruits and vegetables into their diets.
Please know that allowing us to be your farm family has a tremendous ripple effect on my family1 read more »
Week 14
We hope that you are well. All of us at SHF (plants included) are pretty tired and thankful for some rain and decreasing temps! The guys have been working 70-80 hour weeks for quite some time now- but fortunately we were able to take a little extra time off with the rain. We hope that you get to vi1 read more »
