Farm Happenings for August 12, 2021

Going to be a hot week! The rain this morning was nice. We are nearing the end with only 2 more deliveries after this week. We know schools are starting back and your schedules probably got busier, we will be sending you a quick text to remind you of your share pick up at 6pm on Thursdays, please make sure your phone number is in your profile. Sorry, we will not be able to leave your share in Winslow's Table.

If you haven't already signed up for Farm Stand in Harvie, please do, because we will be continuing a la carte style once the CSA Shares are done.

Winslow’s Farm is located in Augusta, Mo. on an old hog farm settled in the 1800's by German immigrants. The 5 acre growing field is tucked away in a valley surrounded by rolling hills blessed with old growth trees and rich Missouri bottomland soil. Since 2005 this land has been nurtured and planted using time honored organic and natural farming principles & practices. Chickens graze in the surrounding pastures, raised for eggs and pest control, rotating fields with a herd of goats and our horse Red. The large variety of annual and perennial fruits, vegetables, flowers and herbs are grown seasonally for our CSA members and select restaurants in the St Louis metropolitan area. Seed crop varieties are selected for their taste and ability to withstand pest and disease pressure. Late winter seeds are started in the green house before planting in succession on the growing field. The fields are irrigated with well water, where crops are tended closely and hand harvested daily for peak flavor.

The 100 year old structures have been carefully retrofitted for todays needs, but clean up beautifully for private events throughout the spring and summer months.
