So Lucky Despite Barn Fire

As we enter Thanksgiving season, our gratefuls have never been so big. We are so, so, soooo lucky: our Barn is standing & our livestock are safe. We are grateful to all who have reached out to see how they can help.  At first we thought, we got this. But a 2-week sequence of events, […]

New Shopping How-tos

In these unprecedented times, we are buoyed by both the incredible words and actions of support from all of you as well as the increased interest in local food. While we know we have the much easier and safer job producing and delivering food from a small regenerative farm compared to all of the healthcare […]

Providing and Nourishing while we all #Flattenthecurve

Our farm community is small and a beautiful result is that when we write this note we see YOUR face! It brings us so much joy and wholeness to provision folks whose nourishment goals are known to us. Your stories help shape and reinforce our practices. Simultaneously we appreciate your solidarity with our farm and […]

The Joy of Partnerships!

As we prepare to celebrate our 10th anniversary as a farm, we have been reflecting on the many partnerships that have made it all possible. We are so thrilled for our past, ongoing and new partnerships with an amazing crew of farmers, producers, chefs, cooks, neighbors, musicians, butchers, shoppers, contractors, service providers and more who […]

All in a (Labor) Day’s Work

Thanks to all our Market colleagues and supporters for joining in the parade fun as we continue to build community and excitement for local food.                                               And a special nod (complete with videos) […]

Radiating Influence

A visit from “retreating” (advancing?) members of the Intervale’s Board of Directors last week gave us a refreshing opportunity to reflect in the middle of an action-packed week. We left the exchange inspired by the conversations. We were asked “How has the work of the Intervale Center influenced your farm?” First of all, Intervale’s slogan […]

Coming Together

As if operating on an off-kilt calendar there they came… over the river and through the woods! Cousin Kelsey reached out and next thing you knew more relatives from near and far wanted to gather and there we were twelve members of our extended family grateful for each other and our meal. It is a […]

Appreciating Neighbors

Neighbor and community are two words which show up frequently in our weekly farm blog. When it comes to community supported agriculture it isn’t all about a “CSA” or “farm share”.  And as we go back through the week-by-week accounts the community support from our neighbors is a consistent weave — the threads varied and […]

Thanks to the Teachers

  The tatsoi, vivid and Bok choy, mustard greens, broccoli raab, kale, chard, spinach and lettuces are so lush and colorful… whether you get a chance to pop your heads into the hoop houses or experience them as they show up on our plates. Those of us eating primarily from the farm are admitting to […]

Now That is a Village!

The Floating Bridge opening and celebration was amazing!       As we arrived in Hippo Park, Sandy Schmitt, VTrans Bridge engineer and Brookfield resident was scooting around with a wheel barrow tidying up final bits, green volunteer shirted folks and balloon arches were visible and the air was full of excitement and a good dose […]
