Farm Happenings at Willowsford Farm
Groundhogs and Greenhouses
Farm-ily,
A groundhog by any other name… is a woodchuck. Or, if you’re my grandmother in West Virginia, a whistle pig. According to the real experts at NOAA, this furry little meteorologist is also an incompetent weather man, and a mere 35% of his predictions are accurate. Thankfully,1 read more »
Greens Can Stand the Heat!
Farm-ily,
In my experience, one of the greatest joys of CSA membership is that it throws open the door and welcomes variety. It is simply not possible to populate your table with the same foods, the same dishes, for longer than the span of a season when eating locally. Each season has a personality1 read more »
Old Friends, New Faces
Farm-ily,
Our sunny moments and green tunnel harvests this week have been plentiful, but punctuated by a bit of bittersweet. One of the most cheerful faces on the Farm over the last few years is now absent. Our Assistant Farm Manager, John Buckley, has finished his stint at Willowsford Farm, depart1 read more »
A "New" Ride

Life in the "Dead" of Winter
Farm-ily,
Are you hunkered down, ready for the possibility of a snow day? Whether this Nor’easter is a boom or a bust, we’ll still have veggies to harvest and shares to pack. That’s one of the reasons we love our Winter CSA season: continuity. No two weeks are alike, but winter is1 read more »
Say Cheese!
Hi Farm-ily!
Sweet Potato Gratin, Broccoli Cheddar Soup, Caramelized Onion Pizza… there’s no shortage of winning combinations when it comes to cheese and veggies. This past week, we took the love affair to the next level with a visit to our friends at Locksley Estate Farmstead Cheese i1 read more »
Garlic in Winter
Welcome to the Winter season, Farm-ily!
And just like that, we’re harvesting for CSA again. Farming is aptly described as “circular”: as soon as one task or crop is finished, it’s often time to start planning for its return. Before we flip one page of the calendar, we begin1 read more »
