The might and magic of the greenhouse seems to know no bounds. There are somehow, some way, still greens in this box: Kickin’ Mix, arugula, and spinach!

Newsletter: Harvest Day In the Life
As nice as it is having computers in our pockets to check forecasts multiple times per hour, sometimes tomorrow’s forecast is as reliable as the Vikings’ end-of-half defense.

Newsletter: How Do We Farm? By Hand
“You don’t own a tractor!?” We get that question a lot, usually with some mix of surprise and incredulousness. How can we grow at this scale and NOT use heavy machinery? By hand!
Recipe: Emmalyn’s Arugula Walnut Pesto
Pesto is classically thought of as a paste made with Genovese basil, but why not arugula? It’s great on pasta and grains, or by itself on a nice piece of crusty bread.
Newsletter: Finally Feeling Like Fall
Frosty mornings really make us appreciate the sun’s warmth. A fifty degree afternoon feels downright balmy when the grass was crunching just a few hours prior.
Newsletter: Finely Tuning the Farm Machine
Just like that, we’re at the end of Emmalyn and my third CSA as owners of Foxtail. At this time two years ago, we were just beginning to realize our dream.
Newsletter: Let Me Toot My Own Horn
Every Wednesday after packing I say to Emmalyn, “I think this is our best box yet,” and this week is no exception. We also met some of our neighbors for the first time!

This slaw is so good and so simple. I usually just go ahead and put an entire Napa Cabbage into this slaw because I could eat pounds of it at a time, and it gets better in the fridge!

Now that we have one farmers market in the books and are putting the bow on our third CSA box, this train is officially rolling full-speed.

Newsletter: Here I Go Again (With Help)
Spring for me always brings joy. Watching the brown, inert landscape quickly transform into a lush vibrant green fills me with childlike wonder, every time.
Recipe: Emmalyn’s Buttered Radish Breakfast
This is one of my all-time favorite breakfasts. I look forward to the first bunch of radishes each spring so I can enjoy this treat on toast.
Newsletter: Thank You for a Wonderful Season!
One year in the books! Can you believe it!? Whenever anyone asks me how the farm is doing, my go-to answer has been, “It’s been a ride.”
Newsletter: The Elves Are Hard at Work
An early Season’s Greetings to you all! This holiday season will be different than all others, but we hope that this box will provide you all with a bit of holiday cheer.
Newsletter: Doin’ What We Gotta against the Wind
A happy December to you all! It’s hard to believe there’s just one month left in this year. I hope everyone had a safe, happy and vegetable-filled Thanksgiving.

Recipe: Greens Cooked Punjab Style
The true Sarson Ka Saag is a labor of love and a dish to be made when time allows. While this version may not be as traditional, it will save you time and still packs a lot of flavor. Enjoy!
Newsletter: Woah, We’re Halfway There!
Something I didn’t think I’d miss during the pandemic is small talk. Of course, you wouldn’t have small talk without weather — and we’ve had a lot!
