Food Shelf
We here at Fresh Earth Farms take our holidays seriously. And one of the most serious holidays is Halloween. This year — as we do every year — we did our best to scare the heck out of the children by giving out Brussels sprouts. It’s odd how we failed to have any trick-or-treaters stop by again […]
The Season is Over
As everyone should already know, the season is officially over. Thank you for supporting our farm. We appreciate your confidence in us. The harvest for the hungry event is a go for this Saturday. We are planning on starting at 1:00 and going until everything worth harvesting is harvested or 5:00, whichever comes first. If […]
Food Shelf
With the season just about over we still have quite a bit of produce left to harvest in the field. We have a couple rows of potatoes (probably around 500 pounds), a couple rows of carrots (a couple hundred pounds), some leeks, Brussels sprouts, fennel and who knows what else. What we have done in […]
Last Week of the 2013 Season
This is the last week of the season. Please plan accordingly. A few announcements to get things started. We now have pricing for winter FruitShare. Winter FruitShare is like Summer FruitShare but in the winter and with different fruit. On a dreary winter day it is like having a taste of warm sunshine in every […]

We appreciate the help! Two more weeks left in this season’s season. This week will have many of the same things as […]

Newsletter 10-2-2013
Since it is already Wednesday there is no time for chit-chat so this will be a short newsletter. The forecast mentioned the low temperature this weekend would be in the high 30s. Since we are typically colder than the surrounding area (it was 37 here this morning when the forecast called for upper 40s) we […]
Five Weeks Left
The farm continues to produce a lot of produce, which is making it hard to keep up! This will be a short newsletter so I can get out there and harvest more stuff. The only share other than VeggieShares is FlowerShare – pumpkins this week! We have certified organic apples from Elm Tree Farm of […]
Random Thoughts and a Really Big Onion
Here are a few random thoughts, opinions, suggestions and ideas from the farm. Increased yields – especially root veggies – have resulted in increased workload but also increased veggies for you to consume. Unfortunately we haven’t always found the time to wash the potatoes and tried our best washing the carrots. Sorry they are dirty […]
