Farming is not Rocket Science
Thank you to all who attended the First Annual Fresh Earth Farms Fall Film Fest and potato digging extravaganza. Of course it had to occur on the hottest day of the year. How hot was it? It was so hot we were digging baked potatoes! Attending a potluck dinner of CSA members is always a […]
First Annual Fresh Earth Farms Fall Film Fest Film
Here is our film from the First Annual Fresh Earth Farms Fall Film Fest!
Newsletter 9-3-13
This should be a short newsletter. There is a LOT of food to harvest! First and foremost this is another reminder of the upcoming First Annual Fresh Earth Farms Fall Film Fest. Looks like there will be a great turnout and the weather forecast calls for perfect conditions. Here are a few pointers to make […]
Insanity!
Farmers are insane – at least those of us who do organic farming, CSA-style. And I offer the below proof of our insanity. But before I get into that, let me make a few announcements. Don’t forget to RSVP to this year’s First Annual Fresh Earth Farms Fall Film Fest. We’ve had a great response so […]
The Latest News from the Farm
I’m not sure if it has ever been this busy at the farm. So busy I have no time for the weekly newsletter, which is already two days late. The nice thing about having a late newsletter is I don’t have to guess what is in this week’s shares since we already have given some […]

Without this much needed rain I would be hauling irrigation equipment around the farm instead of writing this newsletter. So there is plenty of blame to go around for […]
Assimilate Awesomeness

The older one said to the younger one, “I’m so awesome that your standing next to me makes you awesome too.” My comment to the two of them was, “That’s called awesomosis, the process of gradual or unconscious assimilation of awesomeness.” I feel this is what makes Fresh […]
The Big Chill
Farming doesn’t always go well. More on this below. In the mean time, here are this week’s announcements. What can we expect in the shares this week? As always, a very good question. We will have green beans, yellow beans, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, fennel, kohlrabi, zucchini, summer squash, onions, garlic scapes, cucumbers, eggplants and quite […]
