Our fields are undergoing a winter recess! 🌱🌧️ We’ve added cover crop as a regenerative agriculture practice to help improve the life of our soil, mitigate climate change, restore biodiversity, and enhance ecosystems. While the fields are resting, our farm team has done a bunch of important projects to make sure we’re prepared for the upcoming growing season!This amazing work was with the help of volunteers, so thank you to everyone who has helped out at the farm!

We love all our volunteers! 🌟 One of our amazing volunteers shares their experience packing farm boxes for families and why they come back every week.
