We were not expecting Covid-19 to join the suite of spring ephemerals, but here we are and here's how your Farmers and your Farm are adapting. Please take a moment to pause, digest this letter and with it the latest farm flow and stay healthy and grounded like a perennial - keeping a strong underground root network, with flexible shoots. Here is what to expect at present.

Gratitude! We are so grateful for all the well-wishes, check-in's and creativity that is emerging in our neighborwoods. Thank you! and please stay healthy, be playful and pragmatic.

Farm Menu: At this point our intention is to continue with the growing season as scheduled, and with it our commitment to growing resilience, beauty and abundance for you. As a small CSA we are not concerned about more than 10 people gathering at our drop-site(s). If circumstances require it, we can provide home delivery for a period of time, just please let us know. As your sole laboring farmers, we continue to uphold and ensure all public health and food safety precautions.

Typical late season CSA share. While our Vegetable CSA shares are sold out, we still have storage and fruit market shares available.

Our vegetable CSA is currently full and we still have a handful of fruit market share and storage CSA share options available. Our current farm menu and sign-up details are below or you can always contact us directly with any questions, sign up over the phone. If you are not ready to commit to a CSA share, though are interested in seasonal bulk vegetables, herbs, fruit and farm products, please contact us and we will keep you in the farm loot loop as items become available.

Understanding: We realize that people's financial circumstances may be affected by what's going on, so more than ever, we appreciate your financial support of our farm! For all of our CSA shares, we are happy to work with you on monthly payment options, though we do need a down payment to ensure your spot and to ensure that we can operate as a small business.

Flower Flexibility: Our Flower menu is evolving this year. We believe being human, means expressing, experiencing, and cultivating beauty. Flowers will continue to be a mainstay on the farm. If you are interested in a flower bouquet, for your neighbors, the land, or just because, we would love to share flowers with you! We are offering custom bouquets and buckets of blooms on a weekly basis this season beginning June - October available for pick-up on Sundays at our CSA drop sites, and/or for on-farm pick-up. Orders processed on first come, first serve basis.

It goes without saying that the present Covid-19 pandemic means

Brunch n Blooms, Farm Events on Hold Until Further Notice

If you already signed up for our June Brunch n Blooms, we will contact you directly. As of now, we are keeping our August 9th Brunch n Blooms event on the calendar, are limiting the event to 10 people and you are welcome to RSVP, though do not need to pay in advance. Thank you for your patience!

Hope: A bright spot at present is our honeybees are so far weathering the winter! Just when we were about to throw in the beekeeping towel, during a recent orchard pruning session, we saw our social insect friends abuzz in their hive. Fingers crossed that honey might be on the menu and we can split, grow the bee yard!

Signing off for now with anticipation of spring emergence, orchard bud breaks, and the ephemeral mojo from the forest floor. We look forward to growing for you in 2020 and beyond.

Yours in hardiest of kiwi,
Erin & Rob
