Garlic Harvest


It was a cool dry morning today, perfect for harvesting garlic! A group of students in a program called Food For Thought organized by the Triskeles Foundation are volunteering at the farm over the next month. Today, with help from Ellie Andersen and the farm crew, all the garlic was harvested and bundled. It is hanging in the top if the barn to dry. Tomorrow, Ellie and the Food For Thought volunteers will tackle the thistle in the strawberry beds.

Farm Pizza & Potluck!



We had a great turnout for our first potluck of the season, and our pizza oven worked perfectly! It was a beautiful evening with good company, wonderful food and great music performed by Blake Allen. The children wasted no time getting started on making pizzas and the oven cooked them beautifully! We will be using the oven for a series of cooking workshops over the summer. If you didn't get a chance to make your own pizza at the potluck, plan to come to one of the workshops.
