Learn from Taryn, our Director of Land Stewardship, about wavyleaf basketgrass! This grass is invasive and its spread can damage the forest understory.

This time of year wavyleaf basketgrass is going to seed and it’s important to know what it looks like so you don’t accidentally spread it to new locations!

Nov 7

It's the First 2024 Winter Farmer's Choice share! We have a big box this week with double the carrots, double the kale and more!

We saved up paper towel and toilet paper rolls for a few months and made the cutest paper bird mobiles with an awesome group of kiddos! Sarah did a great job leading the craft and had beautiful photos of birds native to Virginia to inspire the artists.

This is part of our series of programs on days when LCPS is closed. Check out our events page linked in our bio for the upcoming programs on the Oct 30-Nov 5 break (all open to the public). We have native grass seed collecting (great for high schoolers looking for volunteer hours), a pinecone bird feeder craft, and an opp to meet our chickens on the Farm. DM us if you have other ideas for ways to help kids connect to nature and the farm or if you have an edu or crafting background and want to help us design more programs like this.

Vegetable of the Week: Spinach! Known for being highly nutritious, this leafy green is packed with Vitamins A and C, manganese, folate and super high amounts of Vitamin K. The spinach at grown at Willowsford Farm has a reputation for high quality and great flavor, especially after the first frost. Low overnight temps help add sweetness to the leaf and it makes a great base for a hearty winter salad. Interested in giving our Spinach a shot? You can stop by the Farm Stand on Thursdays and Saturdays, come to the Mini Farm Stand at the Boat House on Thursdays or place on order through our Online Farm Store by visiting the link in our bio!
