Welcome! 
Nevermore Farm grows and conserves a variety of unusual produce and poultry in partnership with Scofield Farms, a producer of extraordinary almond nutmeats. We offer CSA subscriptions, attend the Woodland Farmer’s Market, and are willing to deliver our products to homes and businesses in the Woodland/Davis/Colusa area.
If you have scheduled an visit and need directions to our farm click here. We are closed to the public except by appointment. No pets.
I haven’t written in a long time because….as the years go on and we repeat the actions of each season in turn, there isn’t always anything new on which to exposit. But finally that has changed. We have a puppy.
I never create titles for these blog entries, but if I were to do so, I’d call this bit of musing “The Squeeze”. As in, the economic squeeze that seems to be affecting pretty much everyone I know. Like many things that start as a slow creep, I first began to notice something was amiss last fall, when I tallied up the annual income/expenses information on the poultry side of our farm.
It has been quite awhile since I’ve written anything. Maybe, I was waiting on my muse, after years of going on and on about being behind on farming chores or what is going on this season.
An evolving part of operating a CSA farm has been to invite our members and our friends into the wake of our ongoing discoveries about the farm-to-table experience. I believe that no farmer can do a good job unless they become a bit of a chef as well…learning the intricacies and variances of the preparation of the foods they bring into being. How are you supposed to guide your growing choices and skills if you don’t have the feedback of what your own food tastes like, and by extension, how to cook it? Part of our journey has been the study and application of historical technologies, some of them ancient, as they pertain to food preparation. This blog documents another phase of this adventure!
What follows is all the typing I had time to do on my vacation. Anymore, when opportunity knocks for writing time, it’s important to answer.
Glancing at the previous post that it took a month to upload makes me realize that a lifetime goes by in a week or two around here. It being that I have had to waste copious amounts of time on the computer lately, it seems fitting to go just a little further and write something….at least I’ll enjoy that. I’ll say in advance that this is one big sour-grapes vent on corporate America, so, be warned….
This post was written over a month ago but not uploaded. Still, here it is…..
Occasionally it’s fun to write about things only tangential to farming, so this is one of those times. I’ve wanted to compose an essay for awhile on the topic of “How I came to be a SF Giants baseball nut after a lifetime of not giving a whoop about organized sports.” This actually has something to do with farming, so stay tuned.
