Oxbow Organic Farm






This year we split a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) box with our awesome neighbors Becky and Chris and their kids Colin and Darby. The farm providing the weekly goodness is Oxbow Organic Farm, and at the end of each season they invite all of their subscribers to the farm for a tour and barbecue. It was great fun--we piled into a hay wagon and got to see the actual fields where our broccoli, chard, tomatoes and peppers are grown. Halfway through the tour we piled out and the kids each got pick a pumpkin from the patch. Then all of the visitors got together for a great pot luck lunch with a live bluegrass jam in the background. Best of all, the weather was absolutely incredible, especially for this time of year--blue skies and 72 degrees. The only bad part of the visit was getting stung in the neck by a yellow jacket, but I'm feeling much better now.
