CSA Week 3
The Harvest… Carrots, Cauliflower (white AND orange!), Zucchini (green AND yellow), Cabbage, Lettuce, Kale, Scallions, Radish, Kohlrabi, Garlic Scapes. Also U-pick Herbs and Flowers (CSA Only). Lots coming in now! Extras for sale, see Farm Shop for details.
U-Pick Berries… Blueberries (OPEN to Public) AND Raspberries (OPEN to Public).
Blueberries… Price $2.90/lb ($2.75 for CSA). NO entry fee.
Raspberries… Price $6/pint ($5/pint for CSA). Entry fee $1/person for everyone. After 3 years of intensive, organic management, labor and infrastructure costs, crop losses and re-plantings, we can FINALLY open this crop for u-pick. Raspberries are expensive to grow; berries are priced accordingly.
HOURS (U-Pick AND CSA pickup): Thu AND Fri 10 AM-5 PM; Sat 10 AM-2 PM; CLOSED Sun.
Other farm happenings… Broccoli and cucumbers next week? Green beans… 2 weeks? Beets back next week. More greens? The early heat and no rain took a toll on some of these crops, combined with a labor shortage to help maintain and harvest. We expect arugula and spinach for a few weeks, but not this season, a first for us in over 10 years. I am considering buying in local though, if available. I will keep you posted. Every year is different, and what we are pulling from the fields is coming in strong. Thank you for being a part of the farm season with us… lots to grow, pick and eat! Enjoy.
