Welcome!
Hard to believe the next time see you all will be in September! We’ve certainly caught a little bit of those end-of-August-blues and are taking it easy at the farm. We are happy to be entering a more relaxed season, as much as it is bittersweet to feel the nights getting shorter and colder again. Luckily, we still have plenty of produce, to bring you all this season!

Featured Recipe
Sometimes another week of zucchini can get a little boring and we need to get creative. We’ve got two delicious recipes for you this week. We are obsessed with these Zucchini Ricotta Pancakes by Carolina Gelen that are perfect for a weekend brunch! If you want some more sweetness this week, try this Vegan Chocolate Zucchini Bread by Rainbow Nourishments. As always we’d love for you to share what you are cooking up with us on Instagram!
Looking forward to another CSA this Friday, September 1st. Thank you for being a part of this community! It is lovely to hold and be held by the land, as we work to bring you nourishment. Catch y’all in September!
