Garlic Harvest

Posted on March 4th, 2021 by Bob Baker

Welcome to the 2021 CSA Season!  Thank you for your interest and for visiting our site!

We are enjoying the sun, the warmth, and the company of our volunteers in the fields - as transplants go into the ground and harvesting our crops, such as scallions - yellow squash - zucchini - and garlic is taking place.  The season began wet and has stayed that way - making it very difficult to get on the fields with the tractors.  which is key in three respects - first to prepare the soil by breaking up the ground and applying organic fertilizer - second to make the raised beds where the transplants find their home - and last but not least so that we can cultivate and remove the weeds!  This will be our 5th share delivery - and the first week for our farm fresh delicious sweet corn on the cob! If you chose to join us as a member- the default for payment is weekly - most members are charged on a weekly basis with their credit card on account. 

Each week for your share we offer 12 - 15 different vegetables and you are able to choose which vegetables you would like in your share.   Shares are available on a weekly or biweekly basis - depending on your family size and usage.   The season will run to October 15th. 

If you feel the urge to volunteer with us - we have plenty of volunteer spots available - we are outside and have plenty of space to maintain any distance which is comfortable for you  - Monday through Friday (2 shifts)  - 9m - 12noon and 12noon - 3pm - on Saturday (1 shift) - 9am - 12noon - you may use this link to access our volunteer sign up page -  VOLUNTEER

We appreciate your support of the CSA and Farm -

Very best, Bob
