There are still a few days left in 2016, but we are ready to turn the page over to 2017. The preparations for another year of growing farm fresh food for our community are well under way. The bulk of our seed order has been placed and our first seeds (onions) are scheduled to be started in the greenhouse in less then 60 days! We are growing many of the tried and true varieties we have grown the past few years and sprinkling in some new ones as well… Sorbet Swirl Watermelon anyone? We do our best to select varieties based strictly on their taste, not how well they ship from Mexico or California. As always, we use no chemicals or synthetic fertilizers to grow the healthiest, most delicious produce possible.
A 2017 CSA share will include
- Our own farm fresh vegetables harvested at the peak of ripeness
- Access to our “pick your own” herb garden which includes basil, dill, cilantro, rosemary, oregano, chives, parsley, chamomile, and many more
- Access to our “pick your own” flower garden which includes sunflowers, celosia, cosmos, snapdragons, nasturtium, and many more
Each week members will have the option to purchase additional items including
- Our own raw honey
- Our own pasture raised broiler chickens
