CSA and Market Opens Next Week
CSA & Market Opens June 8th
Summer is almost here! But, it's been a cold spring, and very dry. As a result, we had to wait a bit longer to plant some crops and it pushes the harvest back a week or 2 for some things. A little rain would go a long way right now! While I do enjoy the cooler weather and the windows open, our "hot crops" like tomatoes, zucchini, melons and more would like 85 degree days and warmer nights (versus the 65 degree days and 40's at night!). For the moment, strawberries are glowing in the fields - come and pick! And the greens are coming in nicely; get those salad spinners ready for fresh cut heads of lettuce and big bunches of dark green spinach.
CSA Week 1 and U-Pick Options
The Harvest... on the table in Farm Shop, and 100% grown on our farm: Lettuce, Arugula, Spinach, Kale, Radish, Salad Turnip (hakurei), Garlic scapes and fresh Herbs. Kohlrabi? Still a bit small, and Carrots and Beets are getting close too. This list will be updated next week, please check back soon.
U-Pick Fruit... Strawberries - could be the last week; demand is high and it's a very short season! Raspberries - looking good this year, maybe next week? Blueberries - mid June. Please check our social media and website farm news BEFORE driving to the farm to pick as field conditions change daily.
Farm Shop - How Does It Work?
