CSA Farming

Here are some photos from our CSA Farm -Spoutwood Farm. We had guests this week and had a great time along with them, exploring the farm and helping harvest some fabulous organic veggies!

We have been really big supporters of Community Supported Agriculture and enjoy our locally grown, fresh organic veggies and flowers every week. The kids all come along with me and sometimes they help harvest, other times they play in the streams or various forts. There are all kinds of "farm" animal mascots - dogs, cats, horses and a goat. The best part of working on this farm is that not only am I learning a lot about organic and sustainable agriculture, but the kids are learning about where their food comes from, how it is grown and how much work it can be! It really makes us appreciate all that goes into fresh, healthy food. I love the fact that the farm we work on supports over 120 families with produce from June- November.

Oh - and our farm has a "Dark Fairy realm" - probably one of my kids most favorite places to play... they fit right in with those mischevous fairies ;-)!
