This is the final week of Spring CSA Shares, the fruits of summer are right around the corner! If you're not already signed up for a Summer CSA Share and you'd like to continue with your weekly boxes, you can sign up here.

Early June is when it's all happening on the farm. Plants are growing quickly now, but the weeds are catching up too! On our list for this coming week: plant winter squash, field tomatoes, ginger, and lettuce, set up irrigation on the squash and carrots, prune tomatoes, weed carrots, lettuce and herbs, harvest and pack CSA shares. It's a whirlwind of activity around here and we're constantly on the move to keep up with it all.

We have a bumper crop of gorgeous lettuce mix, and the cucumbers and asparagus are both coming in strong now, so load up your boxes with these goodies while they're plentiful. It's a great time of year to make a big salad with dinner every night!
