Farm News
We were inspected by our organic certifying agency last week and we are in compliance. Yahoo!

Today was a welcomed relief to the recent heat. With lots of irrigation and sun screen, all the plants and people on the farm have been staying happy. We've been planting and weeding like crazy. Our new tine weeder rocks and our trusty old hoes are coming in handy too. We're hoping to plant our (huge!) tomato plants on Thursday.

We applied for a loan from Kiva Zip, a crowd-sourcing micro-loan program, and last week we reached 100%! Now we have half of the funds to complete our farm improvements project. We should hear about the grant which would fund the other half of the project soon. These improvements include a market vehicle, a cold-storage facility, greenhouse improvements, and reusable packaging/totes. We're excited by and grateful for this opportunity to substantially grow our farm!

Talk to you soon!
