LAST Week of the Winter/Spring CSA season: Week of June 1st

Sign Up For The Summer CSA Season

The Summer CSA Season starts the week after this season ends… If you want to participate in that season, and haven’t already signed up, do that now. If you aren’t sure if you are signed up for that season, just reach out, and we can let you know, or sign you up if that’s easier.

THANK YOU for participating in the winter/spring CSA season. We hope you enjoyed the season, and we always welcome feedback for improvement. If you are someone who doesn’t do the summer share because you have a huge garden, have a great summer! If you are doing the summer CSA season, we just roll right into that.

This Week’s Availability

This week we will have fresh red radish bunches, broccoli raab, mesclun mix, spicy greens mix, arugula, baby lettuce, pea shoots, spinach, mini romaine lettuce, cilantro, scallions, rhubarb, and frozen heirloom/beefsteak tomatoes.

This will be the last week we will have available plants on display at CSA pickup if you are still looking for anything. There is a limited variety of plants we were able to list on the online ordering platform for delivered bags, but we have a much wider selection at the farm. (And for those of you who haven’t been here, did you know that we are less than a mile off Route 103?)

Ordering closes at noon on Tuesdays for Wednesday bags, and at midnight on Wednesday for Friday bags.

You do not need to fill out the form if you plan to come to the barn on Wednesdays or Thursdays to pick out your items yourself.

Sorry there were days last week the loggers on our neighbors land worked later than 3:30. We hear they are trying to wrap up this weekend, photo by Adam Ford

whoops! I broke my hand a couple weeks ago playing on the slip and slide, wah wah. typing a newsletter is the hardest, slowest task at the moment (ergo the photo tours versus the normal verbose narratives), but I have figured out how to transplant well enough one handed, photo by Adam Ford

the team removed dandelion weeds from the all cover crops stands around the farm last week so that we can rely on a lower weed seed bank when this is killed in place for later plantings, photo by Adam Ford
