We are so thankful for our community 💚
Our tiny farm would not be successful with out the support from our CSA members. Their memberships enable us to purchase the supplies and seeds needed to have a successful grow season.
We are thankful for for their support and all they do to create community that supports local farmers .
We are thankful for our community partners that have allowed us to market and sell produce from their business:
We are thankful for for all that they do to eliminate food waste from the farm through their organizations. It always feels good to fill up their donation bags at the farmers market or have them pick up at the farm.
Thank you 🙏
Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday weekend
Always in forward motion. First onion transplants for the 2023 season!
Nutrient dense food begins with nutrient dense soil. Cover cropping is critical for achieving a balanced system where the farm is not stripping the soil of nutrients but rather working to feed the soil.
Garlic Honey 💛
We grow our own garlic and have an apiary on the farm for pollinator habitat. Everything is certified naturally grown
Garlic Honey is delicious on its own, in a salad dressing, or sauce. I love to add the garlic cloves to my salad dressing or just eat them when I need an immunity boost!
These are for holiday gifts. We will have some available when we vend in December

Swiss Chard is peaking this week! It had an earthy flavor similar to a beet. I love it raw in a salad or it's a great compliment to stir fry or a taco bowl 💚
Garlic 🧄 planting! One of my favorite crops we grow 💚
Biodynamic prep 500
With the Fall Equinox we prepare cow horns filled with manure to undergo a transformation during the winter. Horns will be dug up at the Spring Equinox. The manure will be used to make compost tea to spray on the fields twice a year.
The manure works on soil structure by stimulating microbial activity and balancing the Ph. Over the growing season the manure will help with mineral distribution, seed germination, and root development.
Good morning harvest moon 🌝
Glamorous farming 🤣 The reality of harvesting and tending to the fields no matter what the weather. 🌧
We WILL be rain or shine. Come support us and the other local farmers out there working hard to feed you 💚
