Greetings Friends,

We hope that you are deep in holiday magic, cooking, eating, decorating and spending time with loved ones.

Today is our last official open day for the year.  We will be taking the next two weeks to spend with our friends and family and take a much needed break.

We’re fibbing a little bit since you might find someone at the farm irrigating, you will see us at the farmers markets or doing a bit of work here and there.  However, our CSAs will be on pause until the first week of the new year.

We’d love to continue to see pictures and messages from our friends, if you get a chance to share them.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your support this year and we can’t wait to provide the food we love so much to you all in January.

Warmest regards,

Are you enjoying this cloudy rainy day? We love the rain but it makes for some super muddy harvesting conditions.  We’ll have to share a pic of the mud crusted gators.

Here’s a pic from our CSA Coordinator day yesterday with most of our coordinators corralled at the farm.  We had a great time visiting, soaking up the amazing weather and feasting on Chef Elizabeth’s food right where the Outstanding in the Field team set up a few years ago.  It was a gorgeous day and her shredded black spanish radish salad was stellar!

Please note that this will be our last work week of the year until the first week of January.  If you can believe it, our farm stays open year-round but we do want to give the hard-working folks at the farm time to recharge and spend time with their families.

Here’s what we have at the farm today:
