Hi Everyone!
Into week 3 of the veggie boxes. We're still pumping greens mostly, as we wait a little longer for some of the other crops to mature. Anyone have a favourite salad dressing recipe they want to share?! Just hit reply on this email - I am always on the lookout for new salad dressings!
We have a couple newbies this week, some from us and some from others!
The carrots are finally ready so those are in the boxes this week. Always an exciting one! We should have carrots for at least the next 3-4 weeks. We may see a gap in production as we had a few failed plantings, but hoping they will be mostly consistent from now on.
We are also lucky enough to have some product from Maggie Ranger of Earthdance Botanicals. Maggie is an herbalist and maker of beautiful salves, balms, body misters, herbal teas, and popcorn seasoning! You'll find some of her amazing products available as extras in this week's delivery. We also sourced some more canned smoked salmon from River Select, a BC cooperative of Indigenous fisheries selling sustainably-harvested salmon products. Also in the delivery as an extra you can add to your share. And lastly, we've got 1lb bags of locally-roasted coffee from Uncle Paul's!
All is going pretty good here on the farm with the weather picking up. I am still very nervous about the river, but we just need to get through a few more weeks of freshet. Otherwise, we are sort keeping up with the weeds, plantings, and doing our best to dodge mosquitos!
Thanks, everyone. Look forward to seeing you Friday
Brianna and the Puddle P Team
