Only two weeks left in the season. Best make the most of it! First of all a big THANK YOU to all those who participated in this weekend’s garlic planting gala. It was THE social event of the fall season so far. A cornucopia of who’s who in the Fresh Earth Farm membership were here. […]

But first a couple announcements: We are still taking orders for albacore tuna! This is not the stuff that comes in a can. This is wild, line-caught, delicious sushi-quality tuna! All sustainably caught. We […]
