January 2020, Week 4
For many months - for many years - our focus on the farm has faced outward. We ebbed and flowed with the cycles of the land, planting, and harvesting, exploring the limits of our understanding and our dedication to the land. We built capacity, understanding, and connection. We built a farm we're happy to share, among people we love.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This year, we're redirecting some of that capacity and creativity into different parts of the farm's operations. Instead of keeping all of our focus on the tangible - the market - we're focusing instead on building opportunities for people to experience true immersion. We'll be talking and writing more about what that means in the coming months. We will, of course, be welcoming you to breathe with us, to experience the farm with us, and to become fluent in the language of the land.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We've made this possible by redirecting some of our energy into new development and setting more intentional hours for the market. Starting Monday, January 20, the Farm Market will be open Monday and Saturday, 9 AM - 6 PM.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We invite you to join us on either of those days, and to keep an eye on this space for more about our vision, our focus, and our ongoing commitment to making the farm not just a resource for food, but a resource for the spirit.⠀
