CSA pick-ups begin (in Wi******er) TOMORROW, and Berryville/farmers' markets pick-ups will begin this week as well (Thursday and Saturday, respectively). I've done my best to squeeze in every last straggler, but unless you've already heard from me about sending a check/contact info, it's TOO LATE! You may purchase from us directly, meet us at the markets, and/or sign up for the 2011 season (starting in early spring).

CSA drop-offs begin the week of June 14th! If you have signed up for a whole or half share, you will be receiving an email later today with information about your specific pick-up location and other details! Thank you all for your patience!

Market season is well underway! You can find us on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Glover Park/Burleith and Mt. Pleasant markets in D.C., and on Thursday evenings from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the new Smartmarket in Herndon. We're still working out the balance between Purcellville and Clarke County markets, but it looks as if we may alternate weeks until we have more staff to deploy. See you at the markets!

Which tastes better, grocery store produce or farm-fresh? This farmers' market put it to the test!

The Great Farmers Market Taste-off at the Crested Butte Farmers Market. We paired farm fresh produce against conventional in a blind taste test at the market.

We already knew this, right? :)

Ask a child where their eggs and meat come from and they’ll more than likely name a grocery store chain or a fast-food restaurant, said Robby Lewis, owner of Lewis Farm in north Gastonia.

If anyone figures out how to add to this, let me know! There's a lot more going on this time of year than spinach and asparagus . . . .

Some of our plants (herbs, mostly--I didn't get any good shots of the sunflowers or zinnias) ended up at the opening reception for this year's Art at the Mill. :)
