Occasionally we are asked, “Why would I join your CSA if I already like to shop at the farmers market?” In a word, symbiosis: a mutually beneficial relationship. By prepaying for your season of eating, you can feel you’ve made a wise investment for your wellbeing and for the local food economy. Our relationship with […]

What you might not realize though is that our livestock play an extremely important role in making that possible. Not only do they convert solar energy into wholesome meat, they are […]
We have certainly enjoyed a few cool mornings amid these ever-humid dog days of summer. The first signs of fall trigger warm-loving plant hormones into the deliberate process of shutting down for good, or prepare them for hibernation.
