Farm Happenings at River Queen Greens
Spreading the Love
Hi all,
This week, we enthusiastically welcomed rain and cautiously welcomed the re-opening of the city. We're hoping to see our neighborhoods' beloved businesses survive while we all stay healthy. At our farm, we've been lucky to keep chugging along, and chose to donate a portion of last week's sa1 read more »
Looking Forward to Summer Crops
Hi everyone,
We just wrapped up a 13.5 hour day at the farm and are already thinking about the next round of shares for y'all. This is a funny time when we're so close to the classic summer crops - tomatoes, peppers, eggplants - coming in, but there's not enough yet for shares. You'll just have to1 read more »

Pickling Cukes are King
Hi everyone,

Supporting Local Businesses
With a month behind us and at least another month of sheltering in place ahead, I hope everyone is getting into their COVID grooves. We have a couple of additional items this week that we think will help: iced coffee and fresh pasta!
