Hi Veggie Lovers. We had a little mishap with our spinach last week which resulted in some mushy leaves. In order to compensate our bi-weekly members, we will be adding an extra item in the box next week, September 4th.
School is starting this week for a lot of youngsters. We are beginning to drop off at Mountain View (Aug 28) and Cold Springs Elementary School (Sept 13). If you have kids attending one of these schools and would like to pick up your CSA box there please let me know. Let your friends know too. We want to reach out to our whole community and make sure our kids are getting the best nutrition possible and setting the bar for good food.
If you want any extra carrots, heirlooms, arugula or romaine lettuce added to your box please visit our store here.

AUGUST 28th CSA contains:
DELICATA SQUASH
HEIRLOOM TOMATOES
BUNCHED ARUGULA
CARROTS
WATERMELON
CUCUMBERS
ROMAINE LETTUCE
BROCCOLI
PARSLEY
CIPPOLINI ONIONS (incredible for roasting or caramelizing)
BIG BOX ADD: SALADETTE TOMATOES, GREEN, RED and YELLOW BELL PEPPERS, CARROTS, STRAWBERRIES

**We ran out of watermelons that were small enough to fit in the box so some people got an ambrosia melon instead.

Summer has seems to have flown by. I can’t believe we are already heading into late August. Sweet peppers are on the horizon along with a late planting of bi-color super sweet corn. We’ve had some problems with our corn crop that has been slowing down production. I hope to have it in the box in the next few weeks. The CSA just got a $200 grant to a seed catalogue (from a local farmer who is willing to grow for us) and we are going to branch out with some new varieties. I’m looking through the Johnny Seed Catalogue, but let me know in the next week if you see something you’d like to have in your CSA/JUICE box. We are planting mainly for fall and winter, but I’ll keep Spring/Summer seeds in mind for later.

August 21st CSA contains:
BABY SPINACH
CARROTS

I just wanted to remind everyone how important it is that we get our CSA boxes back to the farm. Please remember to either bring your box back to it’s original pickup point, or leave it outside for us to collect if you have home delivery. These boxes can not be recycled and their home is back here on the farm!
