Hello hello to all of our wonderful backers!

As of Saturday, our Kickstarter campaign was officially over, as thanks to all of you, it was wildly successful! It's been an amazing show of support for Bahner Farm, and we're really touched. I can't wait to put the rewards together for you guys this fall. 

If you selected a CSA share for your reward, you should get a separate email about that in the next few days. If you don't please let me know!

We'll be posting lots of photos as construction begins!

Just got the finished site plan from our architect yesterday - the farm stand and parking area is near the road, with a processing/storage/wash building planned for the future back behind it. Pretty exciting!
