Waterlogged

Unseasonably long rains certainly made their mark on our farm!

Farmers are resourceful and have no choice but to ride the wave of fluctuating weather patterns and unexpected production twists. Plants are resilient by nature but when seeds are washed away or the soil doesn't have enough air, it can be costly and time consuming to replant and repair. 


Farmers are replanting due to crop loss.



Here, water puddles on Rosy's farm almost a week after the storm.


That's why it's so important for farmers to be able to rely on their community. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is designed so producers and consumers share the risks and rewards of food production together. It guarantees that in situations like these, farmers can cover the costs of damage from storms, pests, etc. We are so grateful for the support of our community and will look forward to continuing our season on schedule and stronger than before!
