We are excited to reopen the farmstand for the season with an ongoing committment to growing nutrient dense, regeneratively grown food. We are thrilled to be continuing and deepening our partnership with Hannah at Field Stone Farm to ensure a wide variety of delicious, fresh, regeneratively grown vegetables, meats and fruits.
In addition to our regeneratively grown food, the farmstand will be stocked with items from some of our favorite producers and farmers. The value of these partnerships becomes ever more clear in moments like this past week with the “uncharacteristic” mid-May freeze that triggered challenges (at best) and severe veg & fruit crop losses (at worst).
Together we can help each other and through a broad based, diverse local food system find some reslience. While our fruit trees took a big hit that may mean little to no apples, pears, plums or berries this year [we are still assessing damage, but the dull pollen and lack of pollination as remaining flowers open is discouraging, especially after earlier days of gorgeous blossoms and active pollination] our pasture and lambs hardly noticed the freeze. We just kept them off the frosty grass for a few hours. /
So please keep shopping from all the local farms, helping each get through this latest hurdle of farming in an era of climate chaos. Consumer choices have an incredible impact on local food and climate resilience. While farms and agroecological farming are only one piece of the climate solution, how farmers farm and how eaters eat matters. So thank you!
