So far this year our seeds have been ordered almost entirely from Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co. In choosing the mix of veggies and fruit there is always a sense of excitement and anticipation. This year I was intent on the old-stand-bys - seedless cucumbers, roma tomatoes, yukon gold potatoes, basil. But in reading the Baker Creek catalogue I couldn't help but get adventurous - wonderberries, flame tomato, royal golden watermelon, purple dragon carrot - to name a few.

The year that I read Fatal Harvest Justin and I were living on the farm at Hershey Montessori Farm School. We spent the year soaking in the farm life, growing our own food, caring for the farm animals (not to mention being steeped in Montessori Philosophy and Culture!) That was where we learned that farm life suited us.

So, here we are at the beginning of the 2016 Community Supported Agriculture season. This will be our third season. The last two years of growing our produce with CSA members has brought tremendous growth and joy. Families come out with their children, passing on the knowledge of caring for the earth and reaping the benefits, literally.
Consider joining us for his growing season. Work in the garden two hours a week and take your share of "mostly organic" produce home with you. Our kick-off meeting is coming up, Sunday, February 21 @ 7pm. Come and peruse the seed catalogs, see what varieties tickle your fancy!
