Time to put our money where our mouth is.
We’re raising wages on the farm.
This is LONG overdue. For years we have been justifying our mediocre pay scale by succumbing to three very common tropes about farming: (1) farmers never make any money (2) it’s a labor of love (3) we can’t afford to do any better.
Roasted feta and veggies.
A solid weeknight dinner that comes together in around 30 mins. It's an easy preparation-- a sheet tray meal-- but really taking care with the cut of the veggies, the surface area, and the roasting time yields a tremendous result. Roasted feta is a revelation.
An update.
The anti-police protests and the activism in support of the Black Lives Matter movement may be diminishing in your spheres of influence, but we urge you not to become complacent. To achieve real change will take years of sustained energy and effort (see all past efforts that have withered on the vine…).
Learning as we go.
As you've probably noticed, the police murder of George Floyd and the subsequent national outcry to oppose white supremacy have really roused the activist in me. Since protests began we have been talking, and donating, and giving food, and talking more, and trying to figure out what our role is in this struggle. How can we be most helpful and have the most impact?

Technology... the best and the worst of the modern age! Our customizable, completely flexible, online-based farm share program is the core of our business model. It's been very popular—we've had a waiting list since the first year. I love the easy access our online store gives our customers and the way it opens up our farm to our community.
