Join our festival of togetherness on September 27th from 5:30-7:30pm at the farm!

Farmhouse Fridays are back! The Buffalo Vineyard Church and 5 Loaves Farm are joining forces to offer the community a free bbq every Friday night in the month of July 2022.

Participating in a CSA means being a part of a new more just food system, and it's a different way of getting and relating to your food. Being in a CSA changes how you shop for food.

…”focuses on both taking quiet time to reflect on what we observe going on around, within, and between us, and partnering together to do the work of tending the garden.”

This season is all about seeding, growth, and gathering. With the first week of the month passed, hoop house bed preparation has already begun here on the farm. Seedlings have been sprouting, patiently waiting for their transplant…

Knowing the farmer who grew your food is the best way to know if you are getting the freshest and healthiest food available.  Food today comes with all kinds of certifications and labels, like "non-GMO", "organic", or "all-natural".  These can be misleading and/or confusing.  It has been suggested that the most important certification you can look for in your food is "face certification"; can you look into the face of the people who grew this produce when you buy it?!

Celebrate the Harvest is back for our 10th Annual celebration and fall fundraiser! This year we hope you’ll join us for our street festival on the farm, featuring food from our friends Pacific Cloud Seafoods and Southern Junction Barbecue.

Finding safe ways to deal with pests is one of the sustainable farmer's biggest challenges. How we approach this problem and its implications, highlight some of the key concepts of sustainable farming and key differences from conventional farming…

As farmers, we work hard planning, planting, weeding, watering, fighting off pests, all to ensure a good harvest.  However, there are realities that are beyond our control; there are larger forces at work that cause a seed to sprout, that drive weather patterns, that cause a harvest to be bountiful or sparse.  The fact that we are able to hold a fresh radish in our hands is the result of much more than just a farmer's hard work.

By now it should be clear that Community Support Agriculture represents a different way to connect to your food source; the increased variety, the freshness of picked-that-day produce, new tastes, & benefits to the community and local economy.

Community Supported Agriculture is for adventurous eaters, conscientious consumers, and those with culinary curiosity. As we move through the spring's cool weather crops, to summer staples, and on to fall's long season crops, you'll get to experience a wide spectrum of the over 70 different crops of fruits and vegetables we grow at 5 Loaves Farm.

Participating in Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) means being a part of a new and more just food system.  It's a different way of getting and relating to your food.
