in the rain. Pray for sunshine!

Sunday, May 4th is our first Farm Visit of the season to the Golden Earthworm Farm (of course, you are welcome at the farm any time of the year). There is no need to RSVP for the visit, just show up. Please dress appropriately, the farm grounds are muddy and temperatures in the fields at this time of year are a bit chilly. It is okay to show up a little early and enjoy lunch on the grounds. There isn’t too much in terms of food options in the area (other than fast food) so we suggest you pack a lunch or snacks! This event is open to all current and prospective CSA members.

MEET the farmers, SEE our farm fields and busy greenhouse in action, LEARN how we grow your food, ASK your questions, TALK with other CSA members, WALK the fields, VISIT with our beautiful rare breed animals.

MUNCHIES We will provide organic coffee, tea, juice and cookies. You are welcome to bring your own picnic.
