Farm News

Thank you for being a part of this CSA season with us! As our work begins to slow down and I’ve spent time out on my cross-country skis, I’ve been reflecting on what a great thing it is that we get to do together. In a world where so much of our food is grown on industrial scale farms, far from where it is consumed, with applications of agrichemicals and fertilizers that poison our ecosystems and waterways, where it can be difficult to access alternatives, it is an incredible thing that we can all come together to make this farm a reality for this community. Not all communities have access to fresh local produce grown without chemical contaminants in healthy soil, and not all farmers have communities who are so supportive of their efforts to grow good food. We are grateful for your participation in making Evening Song Farm possible!

This farm is always a work-in-progress. We’re always looking for how we can be better stewards of this land, how we can better serve our local community, how to support the incredible diversity of life that is a part of this land, how to make this work more rewarding for the people who work here, and how to find rest and balance in our own lives and with our family. One of the great joys and opportunities of doing what we do is being able to continue to be creative in working towards that vision of our farm being a life-giving space for our community, our farm team, for our family, and for the land and all the life it supports.

The coming winter months are an important part of working towards that goal, where we get to step back and have some different perspective to bring to the vision of what we do and how we can do it even more effectively. It’s always a little bittersweet to pause our farm’s distribution of good food to the community, but we’re grateful for the opportunity to step back a little bit to be able to begin again in the spring with more vision, energy and clarity for the future.

You can look for 2026 CSA sign-ups on the website around the end of January, and the link to pre-order spring plants (!!) will be available in February. Have a fantastic winter!

Fresh Spring Rolls

This is such a fun treat to bring to holiday potluck parties. It’s also fun to make with kids and eat!
