What a day! Our 40th annual Harvest Festival brought the community together around food, harvest, farm animals, traditional crafts, stories, and music. We’ve captured the day in photos here. We’re especially grateful to our volunteers and everyone who participates to make the Harvest Festival possible every year. Photo by Courtney Ley.

A Limited Batch of Four-Year Cheddar
|
We have a batch of 4-year cheddar to share! This doesn’t happen every day–it takes a special cheddar. Tasting notes during the grading process included: Pineapple-y, fermented blueberries, creamy, and IPA aroma.

Balancing Priorities in School Kitchens
|
School nutrition teams have a complex, highly regulated task to execute every day: serve a school full of children nourishing food they’ll actually eat. We’re supporting them through Farm to School integration and recipe inspiration.
