2021 CSA sign ups are open!

We are feeling well-equipped to say that this season will be a great one. We have multiple new greenhouses, more experience with pandemic food access and delivery, as well as several experienced team members returning for another season who are already in rhythm with the farm. On behalf of the team, I can say we are truly excited to head into this year.

Happy #cowednesday! A few weeks back we posted abo

Happy #cowednesday! A few weeks back we posted about Luz and Lopside, two members of our herd. We’d like to share this update from @cowednesday for those of you who would like to know how they’re doing now!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Both are thrivin out here on pasture. Lopside’s nerve damage seems to have abated, as she’s looking quite healthy and strong! Mama Luz is also getting bigger and stronger with all this grass, space and good weather for healing” ✨

Step into an oak rich forest at Hawthorne Valley F

Step into an oak rich forest at Hawthorne Valley Farm, or any oaky hillside in our area, and you will hear the sound of thousands—maybe millions—of caterpillars pooping and dropping leaf bits as they feed on oaks and other trees. These are the caterpillars of the Gypsy Moth. The species was accidentally introduced into our area more than 150 years ago. While they are responsible for defoliating entire forests each year, Gypsy Moth outbreaks are cyclic, forests usually recover, and many of the efforts to stop the Gypsy Moth (e.g. widespread pesticide application in forests) have created their own ecological problems.
