We have garlic, tomatoes, and eggplant on the farm stand this week then we will close for a much needed break. We will reopen in the Fall. The garlic will keep for 6 months or more so stock up while we have it.

The farm stand is stocked again. We have tomatoes, dragon’s tongue string beans, fairytale eggplant, sweet peppers, and honey. We’ll have more eggs this afternoon.

We were out of town this past weekend but the farm stand is stocked up again. I just put lettuce, spinach, and beets on the stand. We are out of eggs until the 14th, unfortunately.

We have eggs back in stock! We are happy to have found an egg farmer near by, in Siler City. The chickens are full time on pasture, moved 3 times a week. The pasture is then allowed to rest. This method has recently been dubbed “regenerative” because it’s great for regenerating soil. The chickens, of course, love it. It’s much healthier for them and results in healthy, tastier eggs for us.

Starting more seeds! Calaloo, Spinach, Water Spinach, Basil, Lettuce, and Dragon’s Tongue beans! Rezi is getting pretty efficient at seeding. She can seed with minimal instruction and supervision.

We are open! Thank you all for your support! We made the difficult decision last Fall to let go of our workers. We were struggling with efficiency. We will focus our energy this year on improving efficiency and learning what scale of farming is manageable for our family (4 big hands and 4 little hands). Fava beans are abundant now. This time of year, they are delicious cooked like a green bean. We have plenty of other spring produce as well. Come and get some!
