Join us at Sunset Farm this Saturday from 9:30am - 11am for Trowel & Tea Garden Talk - an enjoyable morning with complementary tea and pastries as we talk all things gardening! In old Victorian fashion, we will discuss topics like soil fertility, plant health, and growing veggies in small spaces. Our farmers will also be prepared to answer any personal questions you may have about your backyard garden! Be sure to sign up soon to reserve your spot in this fun Spring event!

There's much more than meets the eye in farming, especially when it comes to soil! As our field recovers from a week of heavy rainfall, we are taking advantage of dry days to prepare our beds for summer crops by incorporating compost and fertilizer into the native clay soil. This Saturday at the Garden Talk, we will dive deeper into the soil amendments we use and how they encourage the growth of beneficial soil microbes and veggie roots! Come learn how our small-scale farming techniques can be replicated at your home garden with a few hand tools and local resources!

The farm is beaming with blooms and is a great spot to enjoy an evening walk or explore the great outdoors with kids! We currently have an abundance of cherry tomatoes and a new crop of Asian eggplant available in our Grab-n-Go cooler! Feel free to shop at your convenience and check-out at our self-pay iPad next to the veggie cooler. Our Saturday Farm Stand is also a great way to stock up on your weekly produce needs. Farmer Meghan is always excited to answer questions and show off our colorful and fragrant vegetable varieties!

In Season : Cherry Tomatoes, Asian Eggplant, Banana Peppers, Yellow Squash, Zucchini, Chard, Collards, Kale, Kohlrabi, Lettuce, Parsley, Green Onion, and Fennel

This week our time and energy spent farming was truly rewarded when one of our loyal customers shared that their children would only eat vegetables grown at Sunset Farm! Their weekly ritual of purchasing produce from the Grab-n-Go cooler not only provides healthier food for their family, but also creates an opportunity of joy to encounter nature and agriculture up close. Food is much more than simple fuel for the body when it is rooted in connection and relationship. As Spring approaches, we are inspired to continue providing nutritious vegetables to the neighborhood and cultivate a space for more memories to be made!

Following suit of our up-potted tomato plants, this week we are transferring all pepper varieties to larger growing cells. This also allows them to increase in size and stature before planting them in the field and high tunnel. With these Spring plants in mind, we have started preparing our soil to welcome new crops. After terminating the cover crop which added plant matter back into the soil, we will add a thick layer of compost and a sprinkle of fertilizer. This should create a fertile space for plant roots and soil microbes to flourish throughout the Spring season!

In just a glimpse of this moment in time on the farm, our vegetables are telling a story of love from seed to plate. So if your family is craving something meaningful, make it a part of your week to stop by Sunset Farm to fuel body and soul! Farmer Sarah will be hosting a Farm Stand this Saturday from 9am - 12pm, and if you can’t make it the Grab-n-Go cooler is always open!

In Season: Carrots, Celery, Fennel, Green Onions, Green Cabbage, Parsley, Collard Greens, Curly Kale, Cilantro, and Dill
