Support Our Farm: Help Us Reach Tomato Season
Donation protected
Hello everyone. It is not easy to ask for help but I am going to give it a try. We are so close to tomato season but not quite there. We have maxed out our farm funds and available credit lines and have another month before our income exceeds our expenses. The farm looks great, the tomato plants look great. Everything is just that much more expensive these days. I have an amazing field crew and I need to pay them and pay all the other bills that are stacking up. In the 30 years I've been farming I've never been in quite this hard of a position. I am looking forward to an avalanche of dry farmed tomatoes to bail me out but I need to tread water for another month.
