MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 42/52 of 2022
Dear Farm Members,
We're having a party! We're celebrating 25 years of farming in the foothills with an epic Harvest Festival and pig roast feast on Saturday, November 5th. As CSA members and an integral part of our community, we'd love to celebrate with you.
John Tecklin started Mountain Bounty Farm in 1997 and we're so proud of the farm we've grown to become after 25 years. Farming has its challenges, and this year was no exception. Fires, smoke, heat, crop disease and pests were all navigated this season by our incredibly hard working farmers. And now we've made it to the end of our season and we're definitely ready to celebrate. After a few years of not being able to meet in person with our community, we are so excited to host this event. We've put together an evening of farm fun for all ages including lawn games, crafts, live music with square dancing, and of course, delicious farm fresh food catered by our friends at Purdon Studios.
You can buy tickets beforehand via our website (https://mountainbountyfarm.com/shop) or at the event. Look forward to seeing you there!
