We spent the weekend and are continuing to harvest peaches today. We’re putting extra peaches in your box as some inevitably get damaged in transport. Believe me when I say we do …

My dear Community, Happy 4th of July. We’re working hard on the farm today as we start gathering items for the boxes this week. I’ll be picking some of the first stone fruit for our fruit expansions! Hoping to pick it just before it ripens so it makes it to your house safely. We’ve recently …

My dear Community, We’ve been partnered with Deux bakery for over 6 years. It was love at first loaf, as one CSA member so eloquently put it. I’ve watched Wendy and Maury, the owners, take their passion from home and create a thriving business. At this time they are stepping down to retire which feels so bittersweet to me. The bakery …

She had the chance to see all the best doctors and yet with conventional medicine she was only able to slow down the progression of this disease. Then she discovered the radical use of vegetables as she puts it. I …
