In his article about farm equipment, Mac asked if anyone knows why horses (and, thereby, tractors) are traditionally mounted from the left. Thanks for all of your responses! We especially appreciated this very thorough response from Bill, a CSA member and friend of Elmwood Stock Farm: The tradition or custom of working, mounting, leading horses from […]
The Weekly Juicery (Lexington and Cincinnati locations): Elmwood Stock Farm partners with The Weekly Juicery in a few ways, CSA pickup being one. Pick up your Elmwood CSA share on Old Vine Street (Tuesdays) or in Palomar (Thurdays) in Lexington or on the square in Hyde Park, Cincinnati (Sundays). Stock up on The Weekly Juicery’s USDA-certified-organic juices […]
Seeds are amazingly packaged little powerhouses of genetic potential. The whole gene-chromosome complex, commonly referred to as Mendelian Genetics, is just part of the story. How they store enough energy to get their roots and shoots started, how they protect all this in their unique form of biological amber, is quite remarkable in its own right. […]
You’ve come to know Elmwood Stock Farm’s CSA farm-share program as a way to guarantee your access to fresh, certified-organic produce, meat and eggs for 22 weeks from May through September.

By making the decision to pre-pay for your fresh, wholesome, organic food at the beginning of the farming season, you gain a sense of calm […]
Lexington was home to some 1,200 like-minded farmers, educators and policy makers last week when the Southern Sustainable Agriculture Working Group’s (SSAWG, pronounced ”sawg,” like “log”) annual conference returned to the Bluegrass. We were excited to be with fellow farmers from throughout the Southeast who we only see once a year, at SSAWG. It takes […]
We had a short break and enjoyed time with family, friends and the fireplace over the holidays. We hope you did, as well. It does seem easier to get more rest when it gets dark a little after 5 each day. There is also a tendency to reflect on life, love and the pursuit of […]
Each winter, customers who found us the previous summer brave the elements to shop with us at the winter farmers market.
