Hello Friends– I apologize if this is redundant for you. We wanted to write a quick note to let you know that we will no longer be doing the Cully Community Market.

Hi all! The farm is transitioning into summer mode.  Irrigation is in full swing, despite the occasional sprinkle we’ve received.  We’ve moved our start production area out of the too-hot greenhouse.  Summer crops are growing by leaps and bounds.  This week saw a few zucchinis begin to ripen up, so you’ll probably see them in… Continue reading 6/30 share
