Farm Happenings for August 19, 2021

We have something new this week!!! Fresh Peas are on the list. They will either be Purple Hull Peas or Cream Peas. We will have a note letting you know which type is in your share and how to cook them. Some of you last year had the pleasure of shelling them yourself, but this year we bought a pea and bean sheller and we have done it for you. Fresh peas are the best.

Remember, you only have this weeks and next weeks shares and then our CSA is over for the season. We will still have vegetables available for you to buy in Farm Stand so make sure you are signed up for that.

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.
