"I'm thrilled with your organic produce! Ofcourse, the wonde~ul fresh-picked taste goes without saying. There's nothing like it. But I also like the variety and amounts. The corn is heavenly and I have never eaten such watermelons." Betty N. (2nd year CSA member) An Invitation: When you support us, our farm is your farm. We encourage you to participate in farm activities: hikes, picnics, swimming, camping and planting potatoes. It's a beautiful place with ufliogged forests and a clear creek winding past bluffs and a cave. About 113 of the 300 acres are rolling meadows and hay fields which, with our herd of cattle, sustajn the fertility ofthe farm. Biodynamic Agriculture is simply the best organic fanning method we've found, creating humus-rich soils for quality vegetables unsurpassed in flavor, nutrition and storage life. Living With The Seasons: May-June -- The season begins with bright colors and crisp tastes: lettuce, green onions, parsley, carrots, peas, swiss chard, beets, garlic, summer squashes, and new potatoes. July -- It's too hot for lettuce or peas now, but the diversity increases with green beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, corn, melons, flowers, and fresh herbs like sweet basil, dill and oregano, in addifion to the other June crops. August -- This is the peak diversity of the season! A few crops like cukes, chard, summer squash, and cariots finish their season, but acorn and spaghetti squash, watermelons, peppers, leeks, mustards, and celery embellish the already abundant weekly boxes. Sept-Oct -- Cool weather brings tender mustard greens, lettuces, kale, collards, chinese cabbage, bok choy, tat soi, arugula, mizuna, parsley, kohlrlbi, turnips, and daikon radishes. We will be harvesting these hardy veggies through December. Enjoy the last of the tomatoes, melons and other summer crops, and get ready for sweet potatoes! Nov-Dec -- Abundant potatoes, butternut squash, sweet potatoes and garlic will continue to compliment your greens the remainder of the season. Expect Autumn treats such as gourds and pumpkins or a sprig of mistletoe to keep the season flill of love and light. |Back|
