Farmer Voices

Season highlights! (And get your butt out to VOTE)

Tomorrow is a big day for our little farm. It will be the final harvest + pack out for the 2020 CSA, with about 200 boxes headed out on Saturday morning.

Plus, we’ve got a hard freeze coming tomorrow night, with a low of 18 degrees and snow predicted. Ouch! We have a few more orders going out to local food pantries and food access partners over the next couple weeks, so this week we’ve been trying to save as much food as possible from the fields to store in our coolers. Even hardy crops can’t withstand temps that low, so today and tomorrow will be a serious sprint.

On living and farming in rural, red-NY

As we all have witnessed over the last decade, our society has become so polarized, so fractioned, that often we can not even talk to our literal neighbors if they differ from our political views — regardless of life interests or the common bonds that living in community creates.

As a sustainable farmer in upstate NY, I have a unique view into both sides of the political spectrum.

This is powerful stuff. Farmer Mika's on the mic!

We’re excited to share a guest post today, written by one of our farmers! Mika joined our crew last season, and we are honored to have her coming back in 2020, hooray!! In addition to her eight years of farming experience, Mika brings so much insight and compassion to our team. We are grateful to share her voice here. Thank you, Mika!
