A Cold Spring Can’t Stop Our Growth!

This is the first Spring I have spent on the Olympic Peninsula, and even though I expected some rain, I certainly wasn’t prepared for it to be this cold and gloomy this long. And I know I’m not alone—it seems that everyone I talk to, whether they’ve been in the area for 2 years or 10, has been taken aback by the sheer scale of moisture and chilly temperatures we’ve...

Vibing at the Farmers Market

With this week we have officially made it through the first month of our CSA! We’ve seen something like 10,000 tulips make their way off the farm and into your vases this month and what a sight it has been.

And yet here we are, on the tail of 2021 and our last CSA share of the season. One of my favorite things about farming has become these wonderful young people I get to meet and work with. Some of them stick around the farm for just four months,...
