Hidden behind modern traditions and buried beneath rampant consumerism is a natural phenomenon that has inspired awe and reverence since the beginning of human existence. Celebrated through art, literature, and a variety of rituals the winter solstice occurs this Saturday, the 21st of December. As farmers, we are by choice, and by necessity, closely linked to the rhythms of the seasons. We are privileged to be an intimate part of this seasonal ebb and flow and we hope that through our newsletter, our CSA, and everything we grow and offer that we have been able to share our connection to the natural world with you.
Seasons Greetings, Happy Holy Days, and Happy Solstice.

Noted climber and alpine guide Kitty Calhoun has tackled some of the world's most difficult ascents. Unfortunately, due to climate change, some of these paths to the planet's loftiest summits may never again be accessible. In an October 2013 TED Talk, Kitty discusses her lifelong dedication to a minimalist lifestyle and how focusing less on acquiring possessions can not only help us achieve personal goals but also effect real, meaningful, and lasting social and environmental change. Check out the link below to see Kitty's brief, but powerful speech.
