Happy Holidays!
Here comes the light! We just had our annual Solstice Dinner on the longest night of the year. Always a favorite, such beautiful food. I feel like eating from this place in deep winter marks real success of food security and sustainability. It has taken a lot of years to build the skill and infrastructure to make this possible. The dinner itself is a joyful celebration of what we stand for, but its only one meal of so many that this farm makes possible for all of those that work it and commit to it. Moments around the table with this food are so warm and shiny in my heart this time of year.
Tristan has preserved so much food this season! Our farm store is chock full of pickles, sauces, jams, salsas, ferments, and more. Here he is with a big batch of tomato sauce. It is a lot to keep up with all the food in the summer, so some things he is able to roast and freeze and then process later in the winter time when the craze has passed.
Come visit the farm store some time!
We are open year round on Fridays and Saturdays.

This team of incredible gals makes me think of a quote by John Steinbeck, “I hope we may not be overwhelmed one day by people not too proud or too lazy or too soft to bend to the earth and pick up the things we eat.”
