Welcome to Week Two of the 2019 CSA Season with the Dickinson College Farm! (Always feel free to skip down to the Veggie List below!)
Last week was a beauty and we are grateful to have stayed out of the path of the severe weather that was forecasted for Thursday. Hail and strong winds are never on a farmer's wish list. Instead, we experienced mild and sunny days which enabled us to scratch a lot of projects off the farm work list.
The arrival of the bulk of our summer team had a huge impact on advancing farm efforts. One of our main areas of focus last week was clearing pasture fences of vegetation, including poison ivy. Our new farm team was up for the challenge with only a few bouts of poison ivy as mementos. This season's farm team is upbeat and determined - two qualities that will surely propel the College Farm toward a successful season.
Other news from the farm include the arrival of our first calf! With lambing season behind us (over fifty lambs were born this spring!!) it is now calving season. Veteran cow, "Spooky" gave birth to a healthy heifer.
We welcome our members to take a stroll around the farm and experience the season week by week - it is always changing! We look forward to seeing you and are happy to answer any questions you might have.
