We’ve managed to clear another 25 acres of land this past tree season, so there will be more land to put into cover crop in anticipation of the vegetable production to come in 2024.

It’s been 29 years since we started farming, but it’s never been on our own land and we’ve never had the chance to build infrastrure that truly fits our needs.

Sometimes things happen for a reason, and this has certainly given us the opportunity to rethi ..read more
