Weekly Update, June 28th

Thank you for all the well wishes, kind words, and speedy return of missing boxes! Your help is greatly appreciated! My words this week are short, the letter from the farm covers it all well. Look for a new recipe on the recipe page soon, as well as some additions to the Kale section :o)

And from the farm:

Up until now, you have been eating from what we were inspired to sow in March and April when the weather was so nice and warm we couldn't resist working the soil and putting seeds into our small garden plot in our yard. We really expected for a freeze to come along and kill our early efforts. The Good Lord has blessed us and allowed all these early seeds to grow and prosper. At that time, we did no know we would have a 50 member CSA. This has also been a blessing, except that you have been sharing the small portion we planted. Later now, we have plowed up our 2 acre plot and planted it full, plus planting another 2 acres at our daughter's farm. Thank you for being patient with the small portions. It is only a start. The main crop is lots larger and your shares WILL become bigger.

July 24th is our Farm Day! Come for a walk through the gardens from 1-4pm. We would like to meet the families that are eating out of our gardens. More information coming in the next few days!


A few very light weeks between our 1st and 2nd plantings:

2 kinds of kale (that curly green stuff! see recipe section for ideas!)
lacinato kale is the new one
more peas
We're looking for a few more items to add a bit more "spice" to the boxes.

See you next week!
