Vision Through the Years<\/h3>\n

When the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) movement was beginning in the early 80s, growers and consumers alike were motivated by the idea that people had lost connection with food production on local farms, and would eagerly embrace the opportunity to visit a farm once per week to pick up a share of the season\u2019s harvest.<\/p>\n

Now, almost 40\u00a0years later, the newest trend in CSA farming is the weekly home delivery of a boxed share. It\u2019s a measure of farmers\u2019 marketing sense that we continually find ways to increase the appeal of our products, yet it\u2019s possible that in the near future people may again find themselves becoming curious about what it\u2019s like to be on the farm that produces these wonderful boxes of food.

The Many Mysteries of the Horseshoe Crab<\/h3>\n

Whether it\u2019s the basic question, \u201cWhat\u00a0is<\/em>\u00a0that thing?\u201d to \u201cHow have they managed to survive 400 million years?\u201d, horseshoe crabs have always provoked curiosity. Now, with horseshoe crabs declining around the world, the\u00a0more urgent\u00a0question is, how can we help them?<\/p>\n

Starting in 2000, Wellfleet Bay has been\u00a0surveying local beaches\u00a0<\/a>for horseshoe crabs during\u00a0spawning season\u00a0<\/a>to try to get a handle on local population status and to tag crabs to study their movement patterns. Continue reading<\/a><\/p>\n

Spring has Sprung<\/h2>\n

Baltimore orioles among the apple blossoms are a sure sign of Spring at Broadmoor. The Old Orchard Trail is the perfect place to find them.\u00a0Look up.
