Looking towards 2021

Hoping that the winter is finding you all healthy and in good spirits. Wanted to update you all on what's been going on at the farm and goals for the season ahead. I know this hasn't been an easy year, the stresses of a pandemic are great and everyone has had to deal with different decisions about safety and livelihood. We are trying as much as possible to take all the silver-linings of 2020 and wrestle them into a determined goal for 2021.

Steven and I have been working on the prep for construction for the new hoop house. The ground posts will be hammered into the ground, and weather willing this winter we'll work on the hoops so that in the early spring we can get the plastic on it. We have the parts for two more, and depending on how quickly the first goes up we'll just keep the construction ball rolling. Infrastructure on this farm will continue to be a big focus for us. This farm was very much a blank slate when we bought it, so we've had to very quickly build what we need. I keep mentioning the hoop houses because for you, the folks we grow for, they are also a big deal. They are a way for us to stabilize and control the growing environment for the vegetables you eat. So we can experience less boom / bust when the weather throws crazy at us.

So it is safe to say we're in the midst of a mixture of analyzing spreadsheets, playing with power tools and building block towers for our nearly 11 month old to knock over.

Looking at 2021 - memberships are live on the website! We're excited to get the ball rolling for the new year. We also added a Gift Card so you can give the gift of a CSA share. That can also be found in the CSA sign up store.

We also added a new pick up site option, Hop Haus Brewing opened a new location in Fitchburg that is a great space, easy parking. With the changes this year brought we have two locations that we have to sort out first (Manna Cafe & Dodgeville). The list of locations is below. The sign up deadline is April 22nd, though this is a fairly artificial deadline as we usually sell our before that.
