Cucumbers and Haying Weather!

Posted on May 28th, 2022 by Angela Bedient

Welcome to June!  Thank you all for a successful start to our Spring Box Deliveries and welcome to all of you who are just now beginning your Lake Stay Share!  It is crazy to think that Memorial Day is here and it's time to think all things bountiful and summer-like!  Many of the growers also have some kind of livestock or family who does and are busy in the hay fields as well as managing the sudden flush of growth (veggies and weeds!).  The days are never long enough it seems when there is so much to do, but many hands make light work on these family farms, and it's such a rewarding labor of love knowing we are providing ours and your families all nutrient-dense food!

This week we welcome a few new jellies and jams, including dandelion and strawberry!  We too welcome snacking cucumbers, great for your salads and veggie snack plates!  Have you tried the watercress yet!?  And the radishes are brilliant red and crisp!  We are so excited to add some more color and variety each week and begin to help you beef up those salads :)

We hope you all have a great holiday weekend, get to enjoy the nice weather and spend some good times and great food with family!  We are happy to have your groceries ready and waiting at your home after the long weekend!

Thanks again for supporting our small, family farms and we look forward to serving you all summer long! (Spring Greens Share folks, be sure to sign up for the summer box if you haven't yet!).  And be sure to customize your box and add extras before 9 AM Monday.
