We want to start by reminding our valued Liberated Harvest Community members to complete the survey that was texted to you earlier this week.

On the farm, we're making steady progress on the new chicken coop, thanks to a generous grant from the Pinecone Foundation. We hope to have it completed before winter. This new coop will not only provide sturdy housing to protect our chickens from predators but will also allow us to preserve areas of the orchard, giving the chickens space to forage on fresh greens, bugs, and other tasty treats that keep them healthy and happy.
Thank you for being part of our community, and we look forward to hearing your thoughts through the survey!
