"Starting something from a seed and watching it gr "Starting something from a seed and watching it grow is a remarkable, breathtaking journey. It is miraculous to see all of the different things it takes to make a garden grow. 

If you give a garden love, you receive back from it. What you get is both beauty and harvest. Harvesting is nice of course, but for me the most exciting part of gardening is watching Mother Nature at work.” 🌱

'C' shares a lovely field note about her time in our farm stipend program. 💜

A survivor field note from "H" is featured in our A survivor field note from "H" is featured in our new CSA Member Handbook. And we’re sharing some of our favorite spider photos taken by staff around the farm! 📸🕷️ 

Ode to the Arachnid 
I’m scared of spiders 
I hate this fear 
As the seasons change 
they are out in abundance 
Flying though the sky 
on their shimmering waves 
Falling off ceilings 
Blinded by the sun rays 
Creeping though corners 
And gaps through the walls 
Making magnificent traps, 
Webs catching their falls, 
Searing me as they 
Sit awaiting their prey 
Steadily hovering above 
But it's going to be ok. 
Because this is their home 
Outside is their house 
But I will smash them 
If I see them scampering about 
Inside is where I live 
Inside I reside 
Please don’t chill on my walls 
Or use my head for your falls 
Please don’t run toward me 
When I bust you in hiding 
Stop crouching under my bed 
Or we will be fighting
