Willowsford's own chef Emily has been busy in the kitchen for an upcoming dinner!
We've been working with her to improve our collaboration and one way is to reduce the amount of food waste she produces. Any waste products she produces now gets brought to the farm and added to our compost pile to help add fertility to our soil! 🤗🌱

Do you know what it takes to get garlic from seed to plate?! Farmer Ben does! The farm is planting 500 lbs of seed garlic that will be ready for harvest next July, yum! 😋
Assassin Wheel Bug spotted at the farm today, woot! ‘Their predatory behavior helps rid gardens and forests of a wide variety of pest insects, from leaf-feeding beetles to caterpillars — a process of natural pest elimination known as biocontrol.’

Learn a little about the pigs we raise at Willowsford Farm! Each year, we pasture raise a handful of pigs, focusing on heritage breeds for their foraging ability and flavorful meat. Our current breed is a Tamalitsa, which is a cross between the Tamworth and Mangalitsa. 🐷🐽 You can check out the whole video on our YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=oor6esognJE&app=desktop&persist_app=1
You say “tomatoes”, we say “got those!” Heirloom tomatoes, paste tomatoes, and slicing tomatoes ripening in our field succession. Outside the video frame, a tractor is pulling Rory on a trailer bed with the harvest conveyor attached, letting John, Collin, James, Natalie, and Alex all pick simultaneously in different rows 🍅 #thetomatoesarecoming #eatlocal #willowsfordfarm #willowsfordlife #loudoungrown #communitysupportedagriculture
We’ve got a new video up on YouTube focusing on pruning tomatoes. Earlier production? Yes please! Easier harvesting? Sounds great! Less disease pressure? Absolutely! Follow the link in our bio to see the whole video.

It’s that time of year - garlic scapes are rolling in from the field and making their way into CSA boxes. Here’s a brief video talking about what scapes are and why we remove them. For the full video, head over to our YouTube channel! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=thFPbA7A0zc
