CSA Week 15 Fading Away

CSA Week 15 Fading Away

The tastes of Summer are slowly fading away from the CSA shares.  This week we suddenly find ourselves with out slicing tomatoes.  I guess that was a fast fade not a slow fade.  It's surprising to say the least.  We aren't going to mow them down yet this week though...

Week 14 Harvest Moon

Week 14 Harvest Moon

I don't want to rush things since the harvest moon is not until mid September, but this week we will have Harvest Moon Potatoes in the share.  It's a bit to be excited about since a couple months ago it wasn't a sure thing we were going to have any at all.  I think I...

CSA Week 13 Melon Madness Continues

CSA Week 13 Melon Madness Continues

What a difference a year makes.  Last year at this time our melon and winter squash crop was drowning in the puddles left from inches upon inches of rain.  This year the weather has dried up right on cue as the melons and winter squash ripen up.  Perfect conditions...

CSA Week 12 The Midway Point

Here we are already,  the midway point of the CSA season.  We are busily trying to keep up with the harvesting of the Summer crops, prepping beds and planting for Fall crops, irrigating since we missed all the rain, and weeding the things we fell behind on.  Hello...

CSA Week 9 Sweet Summertime

CSA Week 9 Sweet Summertime

There have been little to no signs of any trouble with animals in the field behind the electric fence all season... until now.  The raccoons and deer are telling me that the sweet corn is ready to eat.    I guess the smell of that sweet corn is too much to resist and...

CSA Week 7

A changing of the guard is coming to the shares soon.  This week we had a bit of a surprise when we were trellising the tomatoes and saw the first of the cherry sized ones starting to blush.  It's tough to say how many everyone will have for this week but the crop...

What a week, what a Spring.  It feels good to get to the Summer Solstice in decent shape despite all the challenges thrown at us by Mother Nature.   We are now 25% of the way through the CSA season.  It sure does go by fast.  We started some cabbage and cauliflower...

Week 5 That’s Farming

Week 5 That’s Farming

Well one week after we thought we'd have strawberries for a good bit longer we are actually going to call it a season and put them to bed for the year.  Some foliar diseases have wreaked havoc on the patch and the picking became extremely tedious by the end of the...

Week 3 Let there be sun!
