We are over the moon to invite you all (AGAIN!) into the

Fork & Plow Garden!

As our family grows and the farm is once again filled with the sounds of little ones, we are reminded of the earlier days when we first acquired the property. Peaches, apples, pears, and cherry trees graced the grounds, and every summer we would plant a thriving vegetable garden. Our children grew up running through the little cornfield, stripping back the green husks for a raw treat. Evenings were spent hunting for eggs in the henhouse and gathering up apples off the ground.

The past few years have made us want to be more connected to our food. We care about what’s served at our table, and we want the best. We want organic, every time. We want unprocessed, sun-soaked goodness. We want fresh, straight from the soil. We want zero sprays. We don’t care about official labels, we want transparency and truth. We want our toes planted in the dirt, we want our muscles to feel that good kind of ache from a good day’s work. We want food available that we want to eat. Over the past year, we found that our community members want the same thing. There is a collective voice raising, demanding better for our tables, our health, and our children.

As we head into the 2023 Autumn Season at the farm, we’re bringing back our Garden Share! It’s a simple farm share program, where community members can purchase a share of what our farm produces and be a part of the process!

Not your typical CSA, it’s a farm-share experience.

Your purchase of a farm share supports Fork & Plow throughout the year. You’re sharing in the risks and rewards of farming. The excitement we feel in our bones when we see that first squash blossom— we want you to feel that too. When the aphids are swarming around the kale stalks— you can feel that communal triumph as we release the ladybugs to devour them. You’re actually invited to be a part of this garden adventure. Grab a couple of Cherokee tomato seedlings from the workshop and spend some time tucking their precious roots into the soil. Sip on a spicy apple cider and pull a few tedious weeds away from the dahlia plants.

This is a story of sowing humble seeds and harvesting sumptuous tomatoes.

Our days at the farm are spent in overalls and muck boots. We tend to the garden rows and anxiously watch our sunflower babies, willing them to grow into their spectacular bloom each year. Before dusk, you’ll find Buck tossing the hen’s fresh purslane and plucking a few breakfast radishes to dip in bacon butter before supper. In the morning, when the rooster crows, the whole family will be out with cups of muddy coffee and armed with baskets and clippers to take in the day’s bush beans. It’s a terribly wonderful affair full of gains and losses and arms of beautiful flowers and noses smudged with dirt and watching tiny lettuce leaves pop out of the ground. We’re hoping you’ll lace up and join us in this fight for good food and a good community.
