Come one, come all.. my dears, my loves
✴️ Farmstand is tomorrow 4-7pm πŸ€—

The trees are falling over themselves trying to get our farm-fresh organic produce. Walk, roll, bike, run.. whatever you gotta do to secure some yummy greens! πŸƒπŸΎβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

We've been busting b***y prepping fields and planting the seeds... and what an abundance to share! πŸ₯•πŸ₯•πŸ₯•

We have had our fair share of setbacks with the fire, trees falling, stolen power generator and power tools, and just yesterday our wheelbarrows, tool boxes, and hand tools being stolen. People pulling up with angle grinders- busting into our shipping container and ransacking our cooler.. but we are still here!! πŸ’ͺ🏾πŸ’ͺ🏾

So come share in this abundance that won't falter ✨️✨️

Also this Thursday is volunteering at Patchwork 4-7pm .. see you all soon:)

Vernal Equinox Blessings 🌞

πŸ₯• We are ready to announce the release of our 2024 CSA sign ups! πŸ₯¦

Link in our Bio

The Sun’s rays have officially crossed the northern hemisphere which means
The spring peepers are singing 🐸
The seeds have been sown and we’re ready for community πŸ’œ

πŸŒ• This is about to be our lucky number 13th growing season πŸ’«

πŸ’ Our 23 week CSA is a journey we take together as a community πŸ’›

Our mission is to connect community to sliding scale good food, safe accessible green spaces, and nature based education in our urban ecosystem.
We promote our native being to the best of our abilites πŸ¦‹

We’ll have roots, greens,and fruity tooties seasonally available 🌽 πŸ«‘ πŸ… πŸ†
And bulk honey at farm-stand 🍯

After 13 seasons we are grounded in the truth that is, without y’all there is no us.
We are committed to sustaining and living in harmony with the good life that exists here in this crazy beautiful part of the world.

So we cannot possibly express how grateful we are for all the support year in and year out, but just know these veggies are growing much more than meets the eye.

We aim to ramp up our programming with many workshop and opportunities to learn and grow with us, which in large part is made possible by our CSA πŸ„ 🌹 ❀️

We promote a healthy inclusive regenerative farming and community resilience ✊🏾🫢🏾 ✌🏾🐣
