This week, the farm started the transition from the depths of winter (which truly can be a bit blissful, with the year’s major workload seeming to be far, fa r, away) towards spring.

Hardy souls made it out to the Farm while snow continued to squall Friday evening.

Mary and Evan again tapped New York based talents who wowed us. Already the farm […]
You are our Sun and Sparkle!
February 11, 2014 – 5:18 pm
– A Love Letter to Farm Supporters We tried to write you a sonnet. Something to capture the joy we find in our hearts which comes when you tell us about cooking, eating or enjoying the farm’s food. Some way to express our heart’s deep thanks for all of you who make this farm dream […]

Too Cold, Too Sad, but Warm Reflections
January 29, 2014 – 3:59 pm
We’ve been concerned for all the havoc the super cold temperatures are causing for people but it is exciting to hear that the coldest of our temperatures are reportedly setting back advances of threats like the emerald ash borer.

January 22, 2014 – 3:51 pm
