My Dear Community members, What does a farm mean to you? According to Merriam-Webster, it’s: “a piece of land used for growing crops or raising animals.” I think it should be and, not or. I like to believe Old MacDonald was a permaculturist. We care and tend to and give our energy to the crops …

My dear community members, I just gotta say, I love vegetables. I love the cycle of vegetables. After spending a lot of time in the field, I’m grateful for the hard working people who spend countless hours out in the HOT sun to get us our food. They are the backbone of our operation. Here …

My dear community members, As our new member rush has slowed down and we’ve hit our new stride with the CSA, we are able to extend our store hours to midnight on Sunday.

My dear community members, Happy June. We’ve been digging new potatoes for the CSA boxes and I’m really excited to share them. Yellow, red and purple (my favorite) potatoes are coming your way.

My dear community members, We are so excited to get you fava beans this week! I wanted to give a short introduction to them if you’re not familiar. They take a bit longer to prepare, but their infusion of spring goodness is worth every bite. Please note they have a 2 step peeling process: first, …
