We practice sustainability at the farm. Crop rotation, use of drip irrigation and re-using the flower water each week are some of the ways we are being kind to the earth.

We have two harvest boxes available for this coming 2019 season as of May 19th. If interested please email Lorrie at shadymaplefarmcsa@gmail.com and leave me a note. I will send you information. 18 weeks of fresh produce, herbs, berries and tree fruits when they are in season along with a weekly bouquet of beautiful flowers for $500.
We do have just flower subscriptions available.
A Full Flower Share is 18 weeks of gorgeous bouquets for $230 or a Half Share, every other week for a total of 9 weeks of flowers for $115.
Please email Lorrie at shadymaplefarmcsa@gmail.com if you are interested.

Week 17, September 17, 2013

She knows her Papa (my brother John) liked/loved cherry tomatoes. She very carefully place these Sun Sugars "just so". This is John's headstone lovingly placed in the garden at The Farm. She visits him each week.

He is just waking up and facing his oatmeal. He has to eat it first before he can have his fruit roll up on the seat beside him.

Pretty lavender statice.
