Farmer Tricia from Blooming Glen Farm explains:
We are first and foremost a vegetable and flower farm. Our lives as farmers revolve around the seasons and the weather, the connections between the soil and the rain and the sun. But it also revolves around our connection with YOU, our community. (It is called Community Supported Agriculture for a reason, after all!)
We have learned over the years that this CSA is about so much more than just a box of veggies.
​
We support and inspire one another as we search for and find healthy eating habits.
“We are all inspiring each other is how I look at it. We all take a smidge from one recipe, add something from another.” ~Cathy Barndt
We harvest and break garlic together, chat, “team build” and meet our neighbors.
We donate our surplus to our neighbors in need.
We harvest a flower bouquet for a friend who needs a smile.
We slow down, we experiment, and we savor our creations.
We come together to create.
​
We find a common language, food. It can help bridge cultural, political and economic divides.
When you pay attention to where your food comes from and recognize all that must come together for a successful harvest, you begin to see there are no borders between soil, rain, sun, farmer, food and community.
When a generous, open-hearted community comes together, we can truly create a thing of beauty.
