Spring is on the horizon according to the vegetables, although today feels more like summer. With this kind of unexpected heat, problems can arise. Zucchinis are growing at such a rapid rate the workers need to stay late to get all the squash out of the field. I honestly have never seen people work as …

Week of March 11th – Chickens Galore, and all about them
It’s really important to know where your food comes from and how it’s grown. So let’s talk eggs, specifically the ones you buy from Something Good Organics.

Week of March 4th – Sweet Strawberries!
We were really excited to see rain coming this weekend. A lot of planning and work comes along with this much needed watering.

CSA and Juice Feast for week of Jan 28th
This year, profits generated from our farm’s CSA business is going into building a fruit orchard, raising animals like pigs (for meat) and sheep and goats (for milk and maybe wool). All plants and animals are going to be grown with the highest organic and humane standards. We are really excited for what the next …
CSA and Juice for week of January 21
The chickens are enjoying this warm weather. We spent the weekend combining some of the newest chickens into the flock. We section them off in the big coop so they can get used to being around the rest of the birds. After a few more weeks, when they are big enough, they will join the …
