Hello committed and wonderful CSA customers of ours!  The first month has come and gone with regards to our farm and your vegetable CSA and what a summer it has been.  Record highs and record lows in more ways than the weather!  We are incredibly short staffed for the summer and I have been committed [...]

Still waiting. . . for this baby that is!  We are no longer awaiting the looming frost.  It hit last night in full force.  We graciously said goodbye to the tomatoes, peppers, and basil yesterday.  It has been a good season mostly and it is time to start the shift to the next season of [...]

I apologize for the late newsletter tonight.  We had some parent meetings for school this afternoon and it set me back a bit.  I can’t believe that it is time for school already!  Even the air recently has had a hint of fall in it.  Cooler mornings and evenings. . . The end of the [...]
