CSA Week 6— My Farm Share for the Week of 07/3/2012
Thank you to all our strawberry fans who know the joys of an organic berry warmed and ripened in the sun! You came out in such numbers, that Megan is planning on having even more berries available next year. Strawberry Festival was a success with 1,300 people attending and generating only two bags of trash! Huge thanks to all of our volunteers- we couldn’t do it without you! Sale: 20% off annuals and 50% off perennials this weekend!

Strawberries & More! This amazing strawberry season isn’t over yet! One of our biggest celebrations of the year is Strawberry Festival, this Sunday the 24th, and we hope you will be here!

Strawberries are the special treat that gets the most attention this time of year, but you should also celebrate those new potatoes, fresh peas, and the first summer squash in your shares this week! Sale Mixed hanging baskets are now $20. Strawberry hanging baskets are now $10. Strawberry 6” pots are now $3. Discounts are taken at the register!

CSA Week 3 — My Farm Share for the Week of 06/12/2012
Field Notes This past week was definitely strawberry-centric, and the little sweeties will continue to consume most of our attention for the next few weeks. The field crews’ hard work tending the fields is paying off, and we are happy to announce that the Pick Your Own patch will open this Sunday June 10 from 7-12- see below for more info! Although the rest of us are mad with berry frenzy, Luke and Megan have their eyes on the fall, and are also planting storage potatoes, winter squash, celeriac, Brussels sprouts, and of course, pumpkins. Everything is growing well, including blueberries, and we are looking forward to some delicious months ahead.
