As 2024 draws to a close, the team at the North Richmond Farm is wrapping up the final tasks of the season, working hard to prepare for the abundance that lies ahead in 2025. With the last crop rows in place, they’ve been tackling everything from managing mallow and a thick carpet of grass to settling in cover crops and brassicas for the winter months. These efforts will bear fruit in the coming year, and the team can’t wait to share the harvest with the community.
In a special video attached below, you can see firsthand the hard work and care that goes into these final preparations.
The winter season brings a brief moment of rest for the farmers, a time to reflect on the progress made and recharge before the busy growing season begins. But even as the farm slows down, excitement for the future continues to grow.
In a year filled with highs and lows, the farm remains committed to producing healthy, sustainable food while fostering a deeper connection with the land and the people it serves. Here’s to another year of progress, filled with the joy of working the land and sharing the fruits of that labor with others.
As we move into 2025, the North Richmond Farm team is ready to continue this important work, building on their success and growing more than just food, nurturing relationships, and contributing to a more resilient food system.
Cheers to more growth, more connection, and more nourishing food in the coming year!
