Farm News & Tom's Reflections

Nature's Little Treasures     
  
Every vegetable and fruit you get in your box has a story to tell. We all participate in shaping the story of these crops. They become part of our lives as we grow, cook, and eat them.  By choosing to eat with the seasons we tune into the story of food grown locally, the history of the land, and the living community we are a part of.  It may not always be easy and convenient to be a "locavore"; it asks us to be more flexible, to be open to trying new things. It is amazing however, to think that the food we enjoy is a gift that manifests through the living stories contained in each tiny seed we plant.   Continue reading on our web site

Community Farm Day

Dry-farmed Tomato U-Harvests Continue

The tomatoes are still gorgeous and we've decided to leave the u-harvest field open every Saturday from 10:00AM - 3:00PM until rain wipes them out. So, if you want to come to the farm and pick a load of some fantastic dry-farmed tomatoes you still have a chance. It's self-service, pick-and-pay. Instructions will be posted at our Green Valley Barn Farm Stand. Once it starts raining in earnest, we will close the u-harvesting.
