We are still working on determining what are plans will be for fall/winter farmers' markets and CSA. As you can imagine, they will be different this year.

We will be updating you on this in the next couple weeks.

Oh no, its almost autumn. However, despite the admonition to not wish one's life away, a lot of area farmers (and many other people) are ready for 2020 to come to a lurching end.

Its nice to have some good carrots and beets again.

Our foster son of 2 years, Dominic, will be leaving us to live with his grandparents in Arizona this coming week. So we had a socially distanced going-away party with neighbors, family and friends.
