Shakefork Community Farm is 85 acres alongside the Van Duzen River in sunny Carlotta. We grow over 150 varieties of vegetables, grains for human and animal consumption, pastured chicken and eggs, and a variety of grass-fed meats. The food we raise is primarily distributed through our CSA program and three Humboldt Farmers’ Markets – Tuesday in Fortuna, Friday in Garberville, and Saturday in Arcata

. At Shakefork Community Farm our passion for farming is deeply rooted in a profound and transformative lifestyle commitment. We draw little to no boundary between work and life; the stuff of sustaining life is our work and our play. We farm to reconnect with a simple agrarian lifestyle and strive to supply as many of our own needs as possible. It is our goal to eventually provide for Humboldt County most of the foods that are foundational in our diet. "We have neglected the truth that a good farmer is a craftsman of the highest order, a kind of artist. It is the good work of good farmers - nothing else - that ensure a sufficiency of food over the long term."

We started at the Arcata Farmers’ Market in the fall of 2008, and we’ll very likely keep coming until 2050 and beyond.

That’s a lot of Friday-night pre-market posts to come up with.

So let’s not overcomplicate this one:

It’s going to be stunning.

Seasonal as f*** 🤩

And delicious, too.

Our signature Super Salad Mix is back on the menu!

We call it Super Salad for its hearty texture and incredible staying power. It holds your favorite homemade dressing beautifully - and, properly stored, stays fresh in the fridge for an impressive two to three weeks!

Colorful, flavorful, and ready to eat, it’s harvested early in the morning, thoroughly washed, spun dry in Hobart - our hardworking commercial mixer - and chilled as quickly as possible for maximum freshness.

Find it in your Week 10 CSA share OR get yours at the Fortuna Farmers’ Market tomorrow, or at the Arcata Farmers’ Market on Saturday.

Top it with a marinated, pan-fried Shakefork chicken breast, a juicy sirloin steak, or another nourishing protein raised on our regenerative pastures, and dinner is done.

We expect it to go fast, so come early! Unless you’re a CSA member, of course - then your share is already reserved. 💚

It was a very full weekend for these farmers 👩‍🌾💚

After Saturday market, tired from ten hours on our feet, we changed into our party clothes and drove to former farmhand Kirsten’s wedding. What a joy to celebrate Kirsten and Quinlan and witness this beautiful moment in their lives. 💛

It can be hard to leave the farm on Sundays after being at market all day Saturday. But this Sunday, we were invited to join a dear CSA member aboard the Madaket to celebrate his 75th birthday. It was our first time on the Madaket—and so memorable!

Later that afternoon, we drove out to Redwood Valley to deposit Clyde—and a bunch of fresh farm produce—at his summer camp.

Scott Galloway writes, “Your job in an intimate relationship is to show up, to give witness to someone’s life. That you notice.”

Those words really resonate with me—and, honestly, inspire me to make the effort to show up when opportunity arises. We may be a little less prepared for the week ahead, but showing up to celebrate the milestones and bear witness to one another’s lives is always worth it.

It’s been such a good week—and there are so many good photos, it’s hard to choose!

On the market table, tomatoes of all kinds are making their debut alongside piles of fresh Walla Walla onions, beautiful green beans, gorgeous zucchini and cucumbers, and fragrant bunches of basil. Summer abundance is here!

Around the farm, we successfully detangled the cherry tomato jungle, discovered the first ripening trusses—and one very nasty wasp nest. 😬 We’re really feeling the crew find its rhythm, completed another smooth cattle roundup and trip to Star Harvest, tucked lots more fall crops into the ground—and welcomed this year’s turkey poults to the farm! 🦃 (More info on reserving yours for Thanksgiving coming soon!)

We’re looking forward to seeing you at the Arcata Farmers’ Market tomorrow—and then celebrating our former farmhand Kirsten’s wedding to Quinlan afterward!

Good food, good work, good people. Love is in the air! 💚
