Welcome 2026! Good bye 2025!
I know it’s been a while since I have posted an update because life has been FULL. We welcomed our third child, Wallace Adler, onto the farm on September 14th and it has felt like a postpartum whirlwind since then. And it just now feels like things are settling down: Travis is back at work and I am home full time with all 3 children, each at very different developmental stages. And after a challenging December with sickness and holiday busy-ness, both Travis and I lost our last grandparent: both of our maternal grandmothers (his on the same day of my grandmothers memorial service) so there’s been grief here too.
So here I am with a bit more space to formally announce that for the 1st time in 14 years, I am not going to CSA farm in 2026. It feels bittersweet and a bit unmooring but also freeing to choose to let this part of our farm go for now. I cannot fathom managing employees and a CSA while also caring for our three children, home and general farm upkeep. It has felt like a lot for many years now especially being pregnant last year with two kids and it’s time to orient towards my family of five!
I am so grateful for all the CSA members that have graced our farm for the last 12 years- thank you all! It has been an utter and delicious joy to be your CSA farmer! It definitely feels like an end of an era; one that I have willingly and consciously chosen but an end nonetheless.
Travis and I still plan to grow plenty of food for our family, worker shares and for our beloved restaurant partners, especially who has been with us from nearly the beginning.

All blessings,
