An Ode to Garlic
Was there ever a crop so commonly used and yet so underappreciated as garlic? It’s a challenge to find a savory recipe that doesn’t include this unassuming little allium. We may eventually tire of tomatoes in the summer or long for fresh lettuce in January, but garlic is a year-round st1 read more »
Summer Bears Fruit
Happy Summer Solstice to you, Farm-ily!
It seems fitting that today, when we harvested juicy tomatoes and abundant zucchini, is the first official day of summer. It is the longest day of the year, giving us extra hours of daylight not just to work, but to appreciate this new season. Summer is the t1 read more »

Good Things Come to Those Who Wait
Farm-ily,
This is it, the moment we envisioned when the snow fell outside the Farm office and spring plantings existed only in spreadsheets. Seeds were sown months ago for crops that will become your meals and be gone faster than you can say "leftovers"! It's hard to find the right words for the ex1 read more »
Standalone Shares: How to Order Eggs, Flowers, Milk, and Meats without a Veg Share
