Summerfest 2016

Brown Bottle Farm Is excited to  keep chipping away at the tasks at hand.

We'll have a post specifically about this fundraiser soon! As well as the purpose of Community Supported Agriculture(CSA), and why we chose to get involved.

Gardens and Farms strengthened people physically and spiritually. Taking a moment to sample a wild blackberry or listen to a bird sing the anthem to the day changes us. Here on the farm we praise this astounding life around us by pausing to observe it throughout the day. It's easy to feel the pressure from tasks at hand, but whether or not there's encroaching stresses the best thing for our produce and for us to breath and step back. If you're not completely blown away by your amazing life you're following the wrong path. We struggle to make ends meet and pile way too much on our plates, but we take one bite at a time and feel the magic. 

"'Then I will chant, ' he said. And he began, looking like a strange boy spirit. 'The sun is shining-the sun is shinning. That is the Magic. The flowers are growing- the roots are stirring. That is the Magic. Being alive is the Magic- being strong is the Magic- The Magic is in me- The Magic is in me. It is in me- it is in me. It's in everyone of us." 

-The Secret Garden, Frances Hodgson Burnett.
