About The Farm

2018 is the year of the dog in the Chinese zodiac.  While we don’t follow the Chinese calendar, every year we declare it a year of something.  The criteria are simple: it is whatever strikes us on the farm as being particularly abundant, beautiful, or noteworthy.  This year we have decided that it is the…

Those muggy, humid days of mid-summer are upon us bringing moist air that the winter squash, corn and tomatoes thrive upon.  Summer squash and zucchini are picked daily and if missed, they turn into baseball bats within 24 hrs.  The winter wheat is ripening into a beautiful gold and contrasts brilliantly against the late planted…

That’s Amore! Although our Valentine’s Day evening of the 14th has filled, Valentine’s Day isn’t just to be celebrated on that one day.  We have extended that romantic evening to February 17th for those who want to celebrate with a loved one but can’t be out on a week night.  This special evening is our…
