Happy Summer! How does one eat locally year-round? By taking advantage of the summer bounty and storing it away for the year! We’ve been loading up on blueberries these past couple weeks – this year is a good one for berries, and our freezer is filling up. I am looking forward to the blueberries we…

Greetings friends: Summer is almost upon us! Spring flew by for me. We have been busy preparing for growing season. Yesterday we harvested our first offerings of our salad mix and radishes. It looks like we’ll have another bountiful year in the market garden! Spring is always the season of starvation, when the foods harvested…

Happy April! Our new farm shop is open and looking great! In addition to the farm shop we have a picnic table and area for customers to visit our geese, market garden, and our boy sheep (Ramsy) and goat (Sebastian). Once you are parked in the parking area the geese are in the pen immediately to…

Happy Spring! We are looking forward to some warmer weather- this long cold spring means a late start on the growing season, however it hasn’t slowed the sheep and goats from getting out on the fields with their babies! Happy frolicking ensued on the day we opened the herd onto their first field. During the…

Happy spring everyone! Our animals are all still in their winter indoor/outdoor confinement spaces, very, very ready to get out on the fields!
