While the farm is under a blanket of snow and ice, we are busy making plans for the 2019 season. Although we will no longer be delivering CSA shares, Jesse and Jonnah will continue to offer the Fruit Box option - see their website below for details and sign up! They are also carrying on with garlic seed production and working with David to continue producing potato seed!
