We’ve got GOOD THINGS coming!

There is so much growing on the farm this year—from old favorites to new things I know you’ll love! (Fresh tomatoes, anyone?)

Sign up below to get our 2026 Farm Guide, but more importantly, let me do the remembering for you. I’ll send a quick note whenever a harvest is ready so you’ll know exactly how to get the good stuff.

(Since our chicken, turkey, and lamb only launch once a year, this is the best way to make sure you don’t miss them.)

Already have the guide? You’re still in the right place to get our harvest alerts!
