My dear community, We are in full swing here as all things spring have emerged. With so many delicious and nutritious foods coming from the farm I’m looking for how to further connect our community. Local food security not only provides nourishment but means keeps money right here in our community. Supporting organic growers means …

My dear community, Spring and summer’s vegetables are less hearty so I’m circling back with tips for quick and easy prep. Wash and dry (or spin) and chop lettuce and toss it with some chopped herbs and put into a bag, ready to go. I know I’m more likely to eat a salad that week …

My dear community, Living on the farm and dealing with day to day life I’m constantly thinking about what the future will look like. We are already established with organic farming practices, a huge composting system and a forward thinking attitude that connects the practices of today with the future of our earth tomorrow. As …

My dear community, With last year under our belt it’s been my underlying mission to make sure people are advocating for their own health. The human body is profoundly strong, powerful and resilient. This feels like a really good time reiterate having a healthy immune system and understanding our body’s natural defense systems and how …
Week of April 21st
My dear community, I’ve been thinking a lot about the importance of local food and what it means to me. It all starts in the soil. Our soils have more microorganisms in one teaspoon than all the people living on the earth. Highly complex systems are what drives our produce to not only taste so …

Week of March 17th
My dear community, I was looking at one of our early summer peach trees that already developed leaves. With those leaves came an onset of leaf curl, which is actually a fungus which will ultimately deform, but only slight effect the flavor of the peaches. I was curious why we didn’t spray (with organic materials …
