For Friends and Family - 2023 Stuff!

---

Friends and family still can buy plants at their forever reduced price in 2023!  The plant sale event itself will be replaced by a different - new and exciting - Rain and Shine Friends and Family event this year (see below for details), but you can still order plants by calling or texting, or coming to one of our spring events!  Click here to see a full list of what's growing.

While the inside is still unfinished, the building at the farm is up (see photo on the left), we have water and soon, electricity, and all of that means we're inching closer toward being a proper farm!  Woah!!  :-)  As such, this year the focus with friends and family is shifting toward our own new horizons - farming!

Come join us on August 5th, noon until whenever, for a relaxing and fun time at the farm, featuring a you-pick option - whatever veggies, fruit, and cut flowers you fancy at friends and family prices*!   We'll have the bbq going, you can bring water shoes and splash in the creek, go for a hike, wander the field and listen to the farmer rattle on endlessly about things like dirt quality and no till farming - whatever sounds fun.   Come on out whether you want to pick some goodies to take home, or if you'd just enjoy a day in the country with us.  

*Folks interested in the you-pick option will get a courtesy reusable rain and shine bag, and pricing will likely be either bit-cheaper-than-grocery prices or a fill-the-bag-for-$10 or something like that.

We are also super excited to offer a friends-and-family-only option for home delivery this summer!  Sign up/payment is below, and here's the details:

• Deliveries will be every other week, starting the first week of July and ending at the end of September.  This means a total of  7 deliveries (July 1, July 15, July 29, August 12, August 26, Sept 9, Sept 23rd) are included.
• The total cost this inaugural year only, offered to friends and family only, is $50.  This is a one-time payment, and covers all 7 deliveries, including their contents.
• If interested, you'll sign up below and get settled up with the $50 investment aspect, and then around the end of June you'll receive the first of 7 bi-weekly emails, letting you know it's time to pick some farm fresh goodies for that delivery!  You'll load up a cart only with things that sound good to you - or nothing if you want to skip a delivery - and it will appear on your doorstep on the dates listed above.  Of course we're friends and family so, if you're out of town one week we'll discuss, etc.
• The items offered on the bi-weekly emails will vary based on what's available at the farm at that point - but rather than a traditional CSA where you always get everything, you'll get to pick and choose what shows up at your door.  Hopefully this will mean less wasted produce!
• The growing plans are forming now, so throughout the summer the hope is that you'll eventually see (at least) these items on offer:  cut flowers, fresh herbs (dill, basil, cilantro, italian and curled parsley), peppers (green, banana, jalepeno, pimento), tomatoes (slicers, cherry, roma), colorful carrots, kale, pinto and black beans, tomatillos, edamame, watermelon, cucumber (regular and pickling size), cantaloupe, tiny decorative pumpkins in white and orange, and special corn varieties.  Fingers crossed you'll see all that and more.

We hope to be dropping deliveries to your doorstep this summer!!  And thanks in advance to the brave friends and family participants in this new-to-us process!
