My dear Community, A few of my chickens have been escaping their paddock to lay eggs around the farm. I keep forgetting to build their fence higher to prevent this. I’m off to Tractor Supply now to buy some fencing! Over the weekend we hatched 8 more chickens which brings us to a grand total of about …

My dear Community, I have to share that raising prices isn’t for the faint of heart. Our CSA prices have officially been increased to offset our costs on the backend. I’m hoping this will be the last time we need to do this for the foreseeable future. The CSA pricing is as follows: Basics $21, …

My dear Community, Whenever I’m overwhelmed by diet culture or the latest health fads being pumped through every social or media outlet, I’m so grateful to come back to the simplicity of farming and the vegetables we grow. With my feet in the dirt I sit, connect with and appreciate the earth and all she gives. I always feel that vegetables aren’t some pushy …

My dear Community, I wanted to explain what happens to account credits that are unused by CSA members. If a member quits without using all their funds we have the option to pay it forward.

With soaring gas prices we have no option but to raise …

My dear Community, Happy rainy day. We spent the weekend covering everything up for the rain but the wind had its own plans. It was strong enough to undo some of my work and a lot of things got soaked. A slight inconvenience though as we needed a good soaking badly. At least the guy …
Week of March 23
My dear Community, Happy Spring! The effects of a cold winter are hanging on tight to the crops. We are seeing stunted growth and big gaps of what is usually available now. Peach trees are filled with leaves yet few flowers. Big winds took down green houses that covered our zucchini, taking out some crops with it. I think we’re pretty fortunate when it comes to winter conditions, …

As the nights warm up and the days lengthen we’ll find a whole host of delicious seasonal things starting to ripen. In the meantime, we’re still enjoying the winter bounty. I …
