Local Harvest

Fridays are big harvest days on the Farm. We run both a CSA and a Farm Stand "Cart" on the edge of campus. Today we harvested: broccoli, strawberries, kale, chard, basil, lettuce, blueberries, spinach, beets, and onions.

Such delicious food! Think about all the meals you can make with these foods! And, what else would you need to prepare the meals? On the Farm, we try to eat as local as possible, eating produce just from our farm. Where does your food come from and how long does it take to get to your kitchen? What foods can you source right from your garden or neighborhood?
