Fall 2026 Week 1 Newsletter
Howdy Folks,
Well the blue tsunami hit, and now we all have some good trouble to make, as well as keep making good meals for ourselves and families and friends. Thanksgiving is around the corner and maybe we can make time to slip in a few friendsgiving gatherings during the week to practice recipes and get our groove on to talk shop and share, so that we can get on our best community game. Be in the know how, so we can continue to step up to the plate for our family of fellow citizens on mother earth. Chris and I have started writing on a dry erase board that has been blank, sitting aimlessly in our house. Today we filled it up with requests to ask our TRI FECTA PA Reps. Our local reps didn’t change, but we can still keep up as the squeaky wheel!
Everyone who reads this newsletter, we so much appreciate you! You are a part of a living system. A dream come true of two lovers of each other and the planet we call home. The farm is nestled into the valley that is called Eddyville, because there is an eddy in the creek at the far end of the farm near the big bridge that crosses over the Mahoning Creek. The land appreciates your support of the farm to purchase her offspring. The farm right now is covered in lush brilliant green cover crops. To describe their appearances a little… Some mustards are 4 feet tall and still in flower, feeding the bees and bugs that have yet to hibernate. The clovers are short and fluffy with their lobed leaves of foliage smothering the soil with verdant life. The presence of covercrops continues to enable the transfer of energy from the sun to the microscopic life forms below. As we are no longer growing many cash crops out in the fields for you, we need the cash crops for our friends in the soil. Much of the fresh food that we are offering now is coming from within the protection of one of our three 30’ x 500’ hoophouses. There is always energy transferring from above to below. The plants are our best communicators and synthesisers of the sun's energy. As Chris dives deeper into Regenerative Agriculture studies, I’m hearing stipits of information. I’m feeling a little left out, like I need to also be studying. It’s bringing back all sorts of teachings that I learned when studying biodynamics. He’s taking deep dives into each element, and how it becomes bio available to plants or bound up and unavailable unless there is the presence of other certain nutrients. The collaborative dance to the systems of life are very detailed and intrinsic. He’s learning methods of nutrient management gathered from numerous cultures all over the globe along with contemporary latest greatest scientific backed research. Over the millenia agriculture has done a lot of taking from the earth. It’s great to see a global resurgence in regenerative agriculture. As earth, like us also gets depleted when it’s just taken from and not given back to. So we are here to renew and restore what’s been depleted and to continue the cycle of “paying it forward”, to give back a little more each time we take.
Your Farmers,
Chris, Aeros, and the Who Crew
