| Evolution at the Farm “With a successful growing season behind us, we look forward to continuing our commitment to the local food economy, most notably through outreach and education. We want the community to come to the farm not only to purchase at the farm stand but to engage with the land and take that knowledge back home with them. We want to inspire a movement of composting, homegrown food, and self- sufficiency and are here to provide guidance and support through the process.” Thank you to all the people who visited, volunteered, and bought from the stand in 2019 – you help make what we do possible!! – Farmer Dan’s Journal January 2020 |
