Welcome to the start of the 2023 TC3 Farm CSA! I wasn't sure if it was ever going to arrive with the spring that we have had. More on that in a bit, but first I just wanted to say thank you for supporting the TC3 Farm this...
I think this week is the beginning of when we are going to begin our fall cleanup in earnest. Although we have had some gorgeous days, the temperature hasn't been too warm and more importantly, the nighttime lows are...
Howdy folks! We are on the precipice of fall and I've got to admit, I'm really starting to feel it. The cool nights are here, which makes for that good sleeping weather. I love to look out to the hills and see the ever so...

Well, we've made it. The start of the 2021 CSA is here and the Pandemic seems to be mostly in our rearview. Whether you are a returning member or a new member this season, thank you for supporting the TC3 Farm. I'm not going...
