Sandy's Way Microfarm -Sprister Family Sandy's Way CSA and Microfarm is a 1/3 acre Certified Naturally Grown market farm. What is a CSA? The most often question we are asked.

The name of this farm Sandy's Way is dedicated to Ebrain "Sandy" Santiago; father, grandfather and friend. This farm, or at least the idea of this farm, started 7 years ago, in a suburban backyard, with seven 4 foot by 4 foot boxes in which we grew our own food. Growing that food became a passion and in 2013 we gave up the suburban backyard and bought a 5 acre ranch just outside Castle Rock, Col

orado. We have been selling pastured chicken eggs to select customers since late 2014.

2015 was the year to put in place our micro-farm infrastructure and test growing conditions on a 5000 sq foot area.

2016 marked the start of our CSA and market garden! The idea is it is a partnership between a farmer and a community of people who value their food. Quality food, that is produced close to home, with natural techniques and care. Food from people you can fellowship with. Basically a customer "subscribes" at the beginning of the year, pays up front and receives quality local food for a certain period of time.

We were in the path of a large sever Colorado hailstorm last night. Alot of damage, lots of loss, but it’s early in the season and the farm will recover.

How’s a farmer suppose to farm with our Colorado weather? It’s tough. 19 degrees this morning.

Luckily, I have been able to stash my tomatoes away in the garage with a heater to keep them safe. They are scheduled to be planted next week.

Beautiful weekend to get some beds prepped for planting this week. Before & after. Then I was finally able to go with my 2 oldest sons up skiing for the first time in 6 years. Farm life is about family and getting away when you can.

The snow, cold and cloudy weather on Friday and Saturday made way for a beautiful Sunday! It allowed some of my spring tomato babies to start the hardening off process and a few beds to get planted with carrots and Arugula. The plan is to get the High Tunnel full in a few weeks with tomatoes. Oh, and Saturday my youngest son, Landyn, tested and earned his green belt in Martial arts. Dude’s turning into a beast!!!!

Soil blocks are the foundation of my seeding practices. They provide a healthy home for many varieties of seedlings. On my farm tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, and scallions are just a few. It’s great to be farming again!

Beautiful Colorado early spring weather! Perfect for skinning the high tunnel. This is a project that has been in the works for a long time. Covering the tunnel allows the soil temps with come up significantly in the spring and hold the temps on the cold nights that are still ahead. The plan is to plant our heirloom tomatoes in the ground April 18th.

From 85 degrees on the Costa Rican Pacific, to the teens and snow on the front range of Colorado. It’s kind of a shock to the body…and tomorrow I will be planting the first seeds of the season. Tough finding the motivation.
