The Farm

The farmstand is bursting with color, the weather can’t decide what season it is, and we’re juggling everything from building flower beds to chasing cows and planning a mobile coffee bar ( more on that soon)—just another week at Soul Food Farm.

The weeks roll by, and I feel guilty for not staying on top of our newsletter. There’s so much to share about the farm and the farmstand—it all tumbles across the days like a wave, and I’m just hanging on.

Mid-June is here, and the weather has been relatively mild for early summer. Today, it reached 86 degrees, with some hotter days expected midweek. Then suddenly, next Saturday, the forecast says 79. While the weather can’t quite make up its mind, I’m still bracing for those 90- and even 100-degree days that are typical of our region.

The farmstand has been open for over two and a half months, and we’re so happy to see people returning to the farm. The signs on the road seem to be key in bringing folks in, making me wonder why we think we can’t survive without social media. Then again, I love sharing photos and videos on Instagram. So if you want a daily dose of farm love, follow Soul Food Farm on IG.

Exciting news: the farmstand is expanding as we begin working with more farmers, like Farmboy Organics. They grow beautiful and delicious vegetables, and we pick up an order from them every week—beets, lettuce, and new potatoes, to name a few. What makes it truly magical is that new things ripen in their fields as the season progresses and make their way to Soul Food Farm.

Starting Saturday, June 21st, Lockewood Acres will join us for a Saturday-only Pop-Up here at the farm. They’ll offer fresh veggies, value-added products like handmade garlic salt, pomegranate shrub, and incredible pastured pork. Bacon, anyone?

The farmstand is constantly changing, with new items arriving regularly alongside the tried-and-true favorites you all love—like fresh Acme bread, Soul Food Farm olive oil, cut flowers, honey… well, you get the idea.

Our farmstand, Soul Food Farm Reserve, is open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 9 AM to 5 PM. Visit us for locally produced goods, stay a while, and soak up the farm's beauty. Bring a picnic and sit at one of the tables in the Olive Orchard.

Walk the farm, feel the sun on your face.
