Spring is coming fast!

We had a good, long visit to the Lambright Farm today. Things are getting busy for spring! They are building their greenhouse and making plans for how to best utilize the space inside it. The first big seed order is expected to arrive in the next few days. An indoor window box has been made and the first greens have been transplanted into it. Son #3 is ready for some fresh lettuces, so he started the seeds a week or so ago, and they sprouted better and faster than anyone imagined.

For those who don't know, or aren't feeling the spring season just yet, many of the plants for the gardens must be started in March so that the produce can be ready at the expected time of the season. Tomatoes, peppers, some of the squash, melons, and a few other items will be among the first things planted. If you haven't already noticed, you may not want to look at the calendar, March has crept up on us and makes its grand appearance next week! I am starting to wonder where the winter has gone.

As for the business side of things, it is our hope to have an informational meeting in each of our three major communities, Thief River Falls, Grand Forks, and Crookston in the upcoming weeks so that we may grow this CSA to its full potential. We also hope to meet each and every member so that we can all share ownership of this CSA.

Just getting started

Greetings friends and members of the Lambright Family Farm CSA! It is my hope that this blog will serve as a communication tool for all of you, as well as a record of the goings on of the gardens, and a reference for those interested in whole, fresh foods.

This blog will be written by myself and my family. We are not Amish, but are working closely with the families that are producing the foods that you are hoping to buy.
