Warm Crop, Cool Crop
I have to say that this season has been one of the most challenging farm seasons I can recall, mostly because I don’t really remember past seasons much. But if I had a good memory I believe this would still be one of the most challenging (wait, there can only be one most challenging. Maybe […]
Oh Deer! Book II
Farm News I may have been a bit rash in my analysis of what was eating our lettuce, beets, chard and other veggies. Based on my observations of what appeared to be deer hoof prints poked through the plastic mulch I immediately assumed it must be deer. It is only logical, right? Well, let me […]
Oh Deer!
Farm News It is said that here in the United States we waste somewhere around 50% of the food we grow. What a shame. All that good food going to waste. We here at Fresh Earth Farms do not subscribe to the wasting of food. In fact, I believe we waste no food at all. […]

To try to make it easy for members of the farm and others […]
Successions!

As mentioned before we are sold out of veggie shares for the season but have plenty of fruit, egg, jam, coffee, and shrooms available. There are also a […]
