8/1 Newsletter
Howdy!
We are delighting in the embrace of summer, as we enter this first week of August. This week at the farm, we harvested another round of chickens. For us this is a time for grounding, reflection, and humility. A time for gratitude, camaraderie, and teamwork. We care deeply for our animals, the veggies we bring you each week, and all the members of the broader ecosystem the land we are on is a part of. Thank you in supporting us to nourish the land, ourselves, and this community!
