Today is our last #CSA (community supported agriculture) pick up with the Golden Earth Worm #Organic Farm. We end with a beautiful and seasonal box of #vegetables!

We had a very successful #harvest at the Dodge Farm yesterday and was able to #donate a bunch of fresh, #organic #vegetables to the local food pantry. Look at the size of that zucchini!

As the spring weather starts to settle in, yellow pesticide warning flags are popping up more and more. Along with these pesticides come some serious health concerns. Natural lawn care is the solution!

91% of all #plastic is NOT recycled but ends up in landfills, is burned, or ends up in #nature and our #oceans where it builds large plastic patches, kills #marine life and stays on our #earth forever. Use a stainless steel or glass water #bottle instead of that plastic one.
