We're back at it!

We are gearing up for another season. This year we are expanding our membership. If you know of anyone interested please forward them the link to our blog site! The sign up sheet is now available on our site, but they can also email with any questions they might have.

Some new features this year...
  • I have added a flower CSA to the farm. For $150.00 you will receive a weekly bouquet late June through mid September. 
  • New bags! Each CSA member will receive our own sturdy bags made from recycled chicken feed bags.
 We are building a greenhouse to handle all of the new starts for our expansion. Ben's handywork is converting a storage building into a greenhouse with recycled windows. We are very close. Below is a picture of our work so far. It should be ready to keep our plants nice and cozy in a week or so:

As much as we love the chickens, they were wreaking havoc on the entire property. We discovered that they must have a bit of termite in them because there were holes everywhere and they ate every little green bit they could get their beaks on. Ben and I stealthily moved them to their "summer quarters" and clipped their wings last Saturday night (our idea of date night). Now they can eat all of the grass and their poop will provide much needed nutrients to the beds. Here they are in their new home:

The season seems early, so I planted peas outside in hopes that we will have them for our first or second delivery. I will also plant another round in a few weeks along with greens and such. We seem to be on time for our June 15th delivery target. We look forward to serving you again this season!
