The circle closes

10 hours ago by Andrea

Over two years had passed since I’d seen Mike. Last weekend was a very cool reunion. When I volunteered on his organic farm in 2007 there were days I couldn’t believe he did what he did. He worked so hard! He had so much to do and could never stay on top of it all. When I would be sweating half my b ...

Tell Obama to Remove “Big Agriculture” from the USDA

21 hours ago by Joe

Expertise

3 days ago by angelvalleysat

We plant very few of our crops by direct seeding. Farmer John uses his walk-behind seeder for root crops mainly, like carrots, radishes, turnips and beets.

4 days ago by Dee

OK, it’s time to confess. I can’t WAIT until our organic farm produce subscription ends, which will be Thanksgiving weekend. It’s not that I can’t keep up with eating it. No, that’s not the problem.

Of Persimmons & Pomegranates

5 days ago by Dawn Gifford

Late October to early November is the season for both persimmons and pomegranates, which we received in our CSA box this week.

Moon shadow

5 days ago by Andrea

We’ve had the most striking full moons for the past few nights. Last night it looked as though a giant floodlight was beaming down on the field. We may need that extra light on busy harvest days. For now, I just marvel at it’s serene beauty. I keep the light off when I make late night trips to the b ...

5 days ago by Jon Hale

Have a successful Internet farming game and the Huffington Post's featuring of "hot organic farmers" made agriculture more popular? But if so, is that good for farming's future? Los Angeles Times columnist Meghan Daum isn't so sure. Census data show that fewer than half of family-run farms make a pr ...
