Farm Journal
In subtle and blatant ways, farmers are professionally discounted and personally discouraged. I adamantly believe agriculture can be a rewarding, and healthy full time career. By writing about my work and sharing my progress, I hope to show how organic farms and farmers enrich and strengthen the communities they serve. ~April
Joyful Farming is:
aligning life, land, and community
believing in power and possibility
restoring health and home
nurturing relationships
honoring abundance and vocation
celebrating creativity and change
“I love your newsletter. The produce is so delicious, but the spirit of the farm lives in how you both communicate with us. So grateful for you all.”

Nourishing Bites: Small Talk Part II
This year, there is not space for the extraneous. There is only space for what matters: listening, learning, connecting. These days, to me, our ‘small talk’ is anything but small.
Nourishing Bites: Small Talk
So much of what we do at April Joy Farm is cultivating company - coming to know, learn, and grow from a diverse farm system full of plant, animal, soil, and human teachers.
