Fresh From the Farm News

What's Happening....

Enjoyed spending time over a meal learning about the updates from the Farm to Plate initiative with the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Barb Depew, Kansas Rural Center Teresa Kelly and El Dorado Farm and Art Market, Laurie Bruce. Spring is almost here and it's so exciting to see what this year holds for you in your journey of growing whether that's in your health with local nutritious food choices or outside in nature.
At Rommey Farms we are planning and keeping the transplants growing. The Spring winds we've had are a challenge and since March is coming "In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb" as the old proverb describes, we are ready for a less tempestuous month. Rommey Farms CSA is in full signup mode. The first season is ready for your subscription.

Thank you for allowing us to be a crucial part of your food choices. Here's to a wonderful year filled with growth and shared success.
