Pollination
We had a visit from Eli the bee guy today! Eli is a PhD candidate from WSU, studying abundance and diversity of native pollinators. Today was his annual spring pollinator survey-he’s been studying the farm over the course of three years. Because we don’t use pesticides or chemical inputs, we enjoy a wide variety of native pollinators helping bring food to the table.

From the field
Delicious, nutritious food starts with a healthy fertile soil. A key element of our soil building program is using cover crops – in this case rye and hairy vetch – to add organic matter, fix atmospheric nitrogen into the soil and make sure precious minerals don’t leach out with the winter rains. You still have a chance to taste the results of our work – we have a few more CSA shares available for 2016! Sign up by the end of the month.
