Good
Morning Friends of the Farm!
First,
let me apologize for the slow communications. Life here on the farm has been
way busy personally and professionally. But, the time has come to announce the
opening dates for our 2019 CSA season.
Our
first deliveries will be on Wednesday June 19th. So, the first date to choose
items will be Thursday June 13th. The order window will be the same as previous
years, opening up Thursdays at 6pm and closing Sunday night at 6pm. This year
we are running an 18 week season. Last delivery will be Oct. 16th. Week one
will be egg share delivers and also chicken share deliveries for those who have
chosen these add ons.
While
we have been working hard to get the veggies growing, once again Mother Nature
has decided we need more rain. Tough to believe but rain totals so far this
year are already above the record setting year we had last year. Let's just
hope we don't have as wet a summer season as we endured last year. As most of
you know, our local area was hit by a tornado earlier this year and we were
very thankful the farm did not encounter the damage many of our neighbors had
to endure. The plastic we lost on our high tunnel was our only major damage,
again nothing like some of our neighbors who continue to work to rebuild their
lives.
So,
some early crops we have been working on include some nice romaine lettuce,
swiss chard, kale, peas, scallions, onions, broccoli, collard greens, micro
greens, Asian greens, dandelion, potatoes, and some spinach. Tomatoes, summer
squash and cucumbers are coming along. Radishes, carrots, eggplant and beans
are in the works also. Many herbs are coming along nicely as well.
Well,
to wrap things up and head out around the rain showers, opening choice day will
be Thursday June 13th with delivery the following Wednesday June 19th. Other
e-mails will follow with more detailed information. As always, thank you for
the support of our farm and small, sustainable, local agriculture.
Be well
and stay in touch.
Farmer
Don
