Summer Week 10

Posted on July 26th, 2019 by Stacey Taggart

Our summer season is winding down! Only 4 weeks left for this season and then we start the summer extended season through the month of  September. We're so grateful for CSA and especially for you, our Shareholders, which makes all this even possible. If we were standard vegetable farmers growing more conventionally in a typical agricultural financial model, we'd be in real trouble this year, particularly if our main crops we're cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, etc.  We'd have nothing to sell when the market wanted it, and then once the crops would finally be ready, the market would be saturated and full, meaning that we wouldn't get the value of our crops. That's the reality of agriculture and so we are super grateful for you joining us as we experience the these things together!  We're grateful to be able to communicate with you what is happening on the farm and to make adjustments accordingly.  Nothing in nature is static and so having the flexibility to adjust as needed is huge! So thank you! Thank you for riding through the season with us and bearing the ups and downs with us! There are tomatoes in our future, and they will taste so much the better because we've waited so long for them!
