Thank you for a wonderful open house!

Our first farm open house was a huge success, thanks to all who came out and visited us. Now it is back to farming. We have three weeks until the CSA starts, and we have just started enjoying some of the produce we've grown, including chard, kale, summer squash (we picked the first two yesterday!), and even a few sprigs of basil. The crops are growing incredibly well with the weather we've been having.
We are still accepting CSA members for the season, the sign ups have been coming in fast so make sure you sign up before it's too late!
