Organic Blackberries are in and they are delish! Also, we have different varieties of peppers and tomatoes coming into harvest. You can come pick through the trellis maze or we can pick for you. Bring your children and enjoy a day at the farm and support Urban Community Life and our young urban farmers at God’s Farm!

“Solitary Black Raspberry”
Solitary black raspberry
bless the speckled prairie
solitary black raspberry
drop off your thistled stem
solitary black raspberry
cradled palm stained my skin
solitary black raspberry
spot too late the birds will carry
fruit into their baskets
pick too soon the merry dew
rots them in a casket
