September 25 – 28, 2017 We know you have been eating well since your shares have been bountiful with wholesome organic food. The very nature of the CSA shareholder program is to pass along more when there is more (tomatoes, anyone?), and less when there is less. The weather cooperated for the most part this […]
September 18 – 21, 2017 Some people say that farmers are eternal optimists as they are often heard to say, “there is always next year!” There is probably some truth to that, and when you grow a crop that takes all season to mature, you only get one shot a year to get it right. […]
September 11 – 14, 2017 I read an article discussing how the vast US agricultural industrial complex is leaving us malnourished while trying to provide affordable food to the rest of the world. It states that the majority of US eaters are consuming way too many empty calories, synthetic food additives, pesticide residues, bad fats, […]
September 4 – 7, 2017 The vegetables in your share today got to you via a carefully choreographed series of planning, planting, cultivating, harvesting and packing activities. The person at the start of all of that is John Bell. John lives on the farm with his wife, Melissa, and their three children. The son of […]
August 28 – 31, 2017 We have used the phrase “walk like you mean it” more than a few times around here over the years with each other, when one of us is not showing enough hustle, or when someone is attending to an urgent situation. We also adopted an “eat like you mean it” […]
August 21 – 24, 2017 The long season vegetable crop field looks a little hairy, but that is a minor symptom of a great system. Crops like tomatoes and peppers that take a while to mature and then may be harvested over several weeks, or melons and winter squash that take a very long time […]
August 14 – 17, 2017 Elmwood Stock Farm is bisected to the south by US Hwy 460. Seemingly thousands of cars, trucks, motorcycles, and the occasional tractor pass through every day. A stone fence stands defiantly, staking our claim on the north side of the road, while to the south there is a sliver of […]
August 7 – 10, 2017 You may or may not know that Elmwood Stock Farm is split up into two properties. Cecil Bell grew up on “the other farm”—meaning not the main property where most of your food is produced, but where his parents farmed for many years, and where organic grains are grown now […]
July 31 – August 3, 2017 As CSA shareholders of Elmwood Stock Farm, you have made a connection and commitment to consume wholesome organic foods. Some of you we see often when you collect your share, or when we are dropping off at your pickup location, or if you attend a weekend farmers market; while […]
July 24-27, 2017 Mac Stone likes to tell people that the only things he’s allowed to do around Elmwood Stock Farm are drive trucks and give farm tours. While he is pretty good at those things, he is responsible for a whole lot more. As one of the managers of Elmwood Stock Farm, Mac has […]
