CSA FARM SHARES COMING SOON

Okay friends — it’s happening!

We’re about two months away from harvesting our first crops, and we’re so excited to begin sharing the food we’ve been growing with our community.

We’re preparing to launch our first pilot CSA and are looking for people who want to be part of the early days at Tomorro Farm by receiving a weekly share of fresh, seasonal vegetables. This first season will be small and simple as we learn and grow.

To help shape the program around what our community actually needs, we’re inviting anyone who’s curious (this is not a commitment) to fill out a short Interest Form. It will also add you to our CSA list so you’ll can be the first to sign up when shares become available.

If you’d like to learn more about how our farm shares will work, you can read more on our website here.

If this feels like your kind of thing, we’d love your input. Your responses will directly help shape our first season. And if you know someone who loves local food and might be interested, we’d be so grateful if you forwarded this email or shared the form/website with them.

COVER CROP TERMINATION

Out in the fields, we’re in the middle of a big transition. About half of our cover crop has now been terminated. It’s a bittersweet shift. We’re excited to make space for the vegetables we’ve been preparing for, but after months of caring for and watching the cover crop grow, it feels strange to see it mowed down and disappear.

Over the next two weeks, the remaining beds will be tarped to prepare them for longer-term crops. Since this is our first season, we’re experimenting with different ways to terminate the cover crop and prepare beds for what comes next. Different crops need different starting conditions, direct-seeded carrots require a very different bed than transplanted lettuce, and both differ from longer-term crops like tomatoes.

We’re currently testing several termination methods, including crimping and mowing, to see which creates the best mulch layer and soil conditions. The results take time. It can take weeks for the cover crop to fully die and even longer to understand how the next crop performs.

That’s one of the wildest parts of farming, decisions made months ago won’t reveal their impact until much later. We chose our tomato varieties back in December, but we won’t know if they were the right choices, productive, flavorful, and market-ready, until the plant is finally producing in late summer. The same goes for everything we’re doing in the soil right now. Farming is an exercise in patience, observation, and long-term thinking. Every choice is part of learning the system more deeply over months and months.

A farming reflection applicable to life.

Mowed and poof its gone!
