She really does smile like this ALL the time, it s pretty amazing. We re looking forward to all you farm supporters seeing her sweet smiling face again soon! And we re looking forward to seeing your sweet smiling faces as well :) Our first tomatoes have been planted into the hoop houses. Our second planting will get put in this field in about a month. They ll benefit from the nitrogen and organic matter that s added from tilling these cover crops into the soil.

5 Where to find our produce: -On Farm Market Wednesday mornings from 9-12 (through December 19th, 2018) -Columbus Market on Broadway Saturdays from 9-12 (late April through August). -We have a CSA (weekly farm share subscription) with drop off locations in Lagrange, Columbus, Auburn, and On farm. -You can also find our produce on the menus of Food Blossoms Catering in Hamilton. Take good care, Jenny, Chris and Tulsi P.s. We re hoping Chris can find time to start writing the newsletters again soon. We trade out on keeping Tulsi throughout the week, so with staying on top of other farm obligations like record keeping, taxes, fixing broken irrigation, finishing the 8 ft. high deer fence, tractor work, etc., writing has taken a lower rating on the priority list.
