An array of photos this week showing the dimensional corners of the farm: plants, flowers, equipment, people, soil, and tractors. We love them all. Happy Spring!

Did you see this week's recipe for a South Indian Yogurt Cooler? The perfect beverage to enjoy this cilantro before it's gone! Photo by Scott David Gordon.
Rainbow chard stem, when diced, makes a colorful addition to any stir fry. Photo by Scott David Gordon.
This beautiful chard grew directly out of the mess of chard that died during the storm. If you look closely, you can see the dead leaves on the ground which look like mulch. We applaud chard's resiliency! Photo by Scott David Gordon.
In the spring, these are our transplant boxes. In the summer, they get filled with tomatoes. Checkout our transplant sale happening this Saturday from 9-1 at our Garfield farm. Photo by Scott David Gordon.
All of the transplants on the far-right aisle in this picture are our "Spring" transplants - brassicas like collards and kale, as well as lettuces and cabbage. These will all be discounted this weekend to half-off. Come and get 'em! Photo by Scott David Gordon.

This tree line backs up to Dry Creek, a creek that runs through the middle of the farm. Habitat like this, as well as rows of these yellow flowers, make for a wonderful home for beneficial insects and pollinators. Photo by Scott David Gordon.
Some cilantro that we've let go to flower. Every good farmer knows you've gotta feed the bees! Photo by Scott David Gordon.
