We don't have added costs of transport, packaging and advertising when you buy through CSAs, the farmer receives a larger portion of the food dollar.

The Floods of 2011


Floods are covering our hay field and the rains rotted the tomatoes left on the vine.

We were lucky not to sustain any home or barn damage but our hearts go out to those that lost power and possesions.  Hopefully no lives were lost.

We work together to help our neighbors in this time of crisis - remember that  hardship can be overcome with the support of other people.

Prepared Foods For Health...Save our Family Farms!

Here are some thoughts on what our Members are Helping us With.

Our Passion

I love the study of nutrition and bodily health - there are a few simple rules to follow:

drink plenty of water, check you area for a natural spring and fill your own water - here is a link

eat lots of veggies

have fruit for desert - natural sugars are better for you
- maple syrup - minerals
- honey - allergy prevention
- watermelon
- apples

EAT LIKE A HORSE!
GRAZE: don't wait until you are starving because then you blindly eat - famished
This is June Royal!

August 17th - Finally, Ripe Tomatoes!

Tomatoes are picked daily when ripe and placed in the store.
One quart is $4.50 (this is less than $3 /lb) or $1 each tomato.
Please do not pick tomatoes or handle tomatoes.  Since they are heirloom, they are very fragile.
Thank you.
