Let the Season Begin!
The harvest season officially starts on Wednesday! And it looks to be a far better start than the last two years. This spring has had great growing weather. Initially it was a bit dry and we had a couple of late cold days with very minor frost but these last few weeks have more than […]
Almost Ready for Lunch, er… Launch
Just important announcements this newsletter. There is too much farming weather out there today to work inside. But the information here is important so please read! The season is scheduled to start June 17th. Pick-up instructions have been sent to the email address on file. Please share these instructions with anyone who will be picking-up your produce. […]
Thousands of Words in Picture Form
Since I am not in a talkative mood — or maybe that should be a writative mood (typative mood?) — I thought a newsletter with a few pictures from the farm would be worth a few thousand words. But first some quick announcements: The current plan is to start the season on Wednesday, June 17th. […]

All assistance selling the remaining shares would be greatly appreciated! In fact, we will […]
Of Mice and Men
We’re having a bumper crop of rodents this spring. The darn cats just aren’t keeping up their end of the bargain. But first a few announcements: Payment for shares is still due if you haven’t made other arrangements. If you don’t know how much you owe please contact me and I can fill you in! […]
Farm News and a Picture of a Baby Chick
A couple announcements: Payment for your shares is due this month unless you made other arrangements. If you want to make other arrangements please contact me. We are more than happy to accommodate.

March 18, 2015 Newsletter

Check out our online store to order. Or you can send me an email and follow-up with a check if you want to do it old school. […]
