YES!!! After much planting, tillage, weeding, watering, praying to several patron saints, dodging wind, rain and deer, the first box is here! We made the first delivery to our Litchfield share members on Tuesday at the Natural Foods Co-op. We harvested several items on Monday to beat the threat of the impending monsoon which […]
Harvest for the Hungry
We were just contacted by the Emergency Foodshelf Network (EFN), asking us to participate in their Harvest for the Hungry (HFTH) program.

He writes detailed descriptions of each month as they arrive and overtake his Wisconsin farm. April has arrived and overtaken us with the abundance of wildlife that surrounds us on our new farm. We view […]
Starting up in the Greenhouse
It’s seeding time! Though you would not think so looking out the window at all of the snow! We are growing our transplants in borrowed greenhouse space this year as moving into our new farm in December did not allow for time (or weather!) to put up a greenhouse. It was a bit of a […]
