Expect a Full Moon tonight!

Picture
Here's a fun tidbit: According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, "the June Full Moon is called the Full Strawberry Moon. This Full Moon got its name from the Algonquin tribes who knew it as a signal to gather the ripening fruit of wild strawberries. It has also been known as the Honey Moon, Mead Moon, and the Full Rose Moon in Europe."
In this weeks CSA, you can expect garlic scapes, summer squash, beets and greens, Fun Yen Chinese cabbage, radishes, and greens!

What to expect in your share this week...

Greens Mix
Radishes
Broccoli
Green Onions
Beets and Beet Greens
​Kale

The recent rain was badly needed.  Things grow almost overnight with a little rain. Hope your enjoying your shares this spring. We've been eating a ton of stir-fry over rice or noodles. What is your favorite way to cook spring vegetables? Have a recipe you'd like to share?  

Summer begins tomorrow! We can't wait for fresh tomatoes! ​

Things are looking great in the high tunnel.  Thank goodness for this wonderful addition to our farm, as it enables us to start the CSA in early June!

This week's CSA will feature the same items as last week, and we're hoping to add radishes and green garlic. Green garlic is all the rage in the culinary circles right now!

A couple people have asked about greens and the Fun Yen cabbage we offered at this time last year. Unfortunately we lost those (the challenge of organic growing), but they have been replanted so we're patiently waiting for them to mature.  

Thing are slowly coming along in the garden beds outside the high tunnel. The weather hasn't been ideal, as it's still very dry and cool. But when the weather changes, the various crops will recognize it and take off very quickly.

Your first share contains rhubarb, beets, kale, broccoli, and green onions. Now that we've finally received some spring rain, things should really start taking off once we get some sun!

We've gotten a couple requests of people wanting to know what they're getting ahead of time. We'll do our best to make that happen. Sometime we only know a day or two before, as we're not sure if something will mature in time. Sometimes other other work and life prevent us from getting to the computer in time!

Next week will be the first CSA delivery! We still haven't finalized what veggies will be available, so it will just have to be a surprise! 

We will email everyone early next week with directions to the pick up location (same as last year). Pickup will be on Thursdays between 8AM and 4PM. Coolers and any instructions will be in Tracy's car and you can just help yourself when you have a moment.  So keep an eye on your inbox next week!

Sorry everyone but we are postponing our open house. It is supposed to rain and it would be quite muddy. We will reschedule soon when the garden beds are bigger and the paths are drier!

Open House on May 20, 2018

5/7/2018

We are having our first OPEN HOUSE at the farm on May 20th from 10-4. Take a Sunday drive, come visit, have a snack, and say hello! There is even an option to plant if you choose, or just stroll through the garden beds and high tunnel. Everyone is welcome!
The high tunnel has finally dried out enough to plant. All the seedlings that were grown in a greenhouse are being transplanted. Now we're just waiting for the fields to catch up! There is still lots to do and Micah spends every moment he can tilling, planting, weeding, and removing rocks from the beds. Tracy works away from home during the week, but occasionally she can help out. In the photo above, she is helping lay plastic. The plastic keeps the weeds down and ultimately saves hours of weeding time.  The plastic is recycled and reused the next year.

Although we are anticipating a Nor'easter later this week, it looks like spring inside our home. The house has been taken over by seedling trays and giant bags of potting mix! The temperature in the high tunnel is averaging 55 degrees F. Spring is just around the corner. We're really looking forward to warms days and new growth. 

Our summer sign up has begun. We're super excited to work with new customers and are so thankful for our returning ones. Our 2017 season was such a great success and we're looking forward to another bountiful season!

Your last share of the 2017 season includes this beautiful "Candy Corn!" So sweet and delicious! Just remember it's no-spray and organically grown, so there might be a worm or two. If you're squeamish, just cut off the top inch before you pull it back. 

Your share also includes Gold Ball turnip, Danvers carrots, onions, and Liberty apples. 

Enjoy your fresh, local produce and we hope you can find some time to take advantage of these warm, end of summer days.

What a season! We hope you have been enjoying your bountiful shares. September means the yields are winding down. We are already pulling plants, planting cover crops to enrich the soil for next year, and thinking about what we'd like to grow in the next season. A hint of fall has been in the air, and we're looking forward to apple pie and hearty soups and stews. 

In today's share, expect tomatoes, beans, beets, eggplant, peaches, plums, and greens. We also included a 1/2 dozen eggs produced by our organically-fed hens. Our delicious peaches are ready to eat as soon as they're ripe, but do not store well. So make sure you enjoy them immediately! 

FYI, next week will be the final share of the 2017 CSA.
