NEWS FROM THE FARM
Thanks to all of you who joined us at the farm this weekend. We had a wonderful event with great food, music, bee information, and strolls around the farm. Now that you know where we are, you can feel free to come out and enjoy the hammock or have a picnic under the tree.
It really warms my heart to see people becoming a part of our food community. There is nothing like a potluck to meet new people and cherish the tiny slice of food security that we provide. It is a rare thing to know your farmer, to have confidence in your food, and even the ability to make requests. Speaking of which, its not too late to put in your two bits for veggie varieties. I’d be happy to plant seed that you may have or buy requests. We’ll be planting through July for our late season harvests.
Again, thank you and enjoy!

Steve Harris opens our bee hives at the farm during our event last weekend. In honor of bees I am including a recipe with honey :P
PIGS!
We are raising organic pork this year. They are fed the clippings from our gardens as well as the organic wheat that we raised last year. They live out here in “Hog Heaven” and will be ready sometime in October. Just want to give a heads up if you’d like to buy a whole or half pig. We have a limited amount.
