Happy Summer!
Thank you for joining us for another season of fresh, locally grown food. Whether you're returning for another season or joining us for the first time, we're grateful to have you as part of our farm community. Your support allows us to continue growing food for our community, caring for the land, and donating thousands of pounds of fresh produce to local food banks and families in need. We truly couldn't do it without you.
All of the information for the Summer CSA can be found on our website. There are a few slots left for Gene’s Choice and the Flower Subscription, and everything else is wide open. Remember, if you need to skip weeks, you can always double up at any point in the season, or send your produce elsewhere (neighbors, friends, or donate two boxes.)
The price to jump in for the week has changed from $40 to $42. Although we really don’t want to raise the price, this small increase will help us with the rising costs of just about everything.
New members can find additional info on our website here. The days are already very hot, so please leave a cooler with ice packs if you won’t be able to get to your produce right away. Flowers will need a vessel of water. We reuse bags, 100% clean egg cartons, and jars (mason jars only.) We’ll be taking orders all day long today and tomorrow, so please let us know if you have any questions!
Please have all bread orders in by Monday night. Victoria bakes everything fresh, so we require time to know how much sourdough starter is needed, plus baking time over several days, including rise and fall of sourdough starter, stretch and folds, fermentation, baking, and cooling. Bake Shop Goodies Subscription, please let us know what you would like for each week. Honey Subs and Summer Special Subs are going out next week.
Here’s what’s on the menu for Gene’s Choice members this week:
Red & Gold Beets: Sweet and earthy, with tasty greens still attached.
Purple Broccoli: Vibrant purple and green broccoli with a touch of fresh-from-the-field sweetness.
Kale Mix: A leafy bundle of vates, red russian, and purple magic varieties.
Napa Cabbage: Make a soup, stirfry, or kimchi out of these dense, crunchy heads. Stores well in the fridge.
Green Leaf Lettuce: New planting, same mild tangy flavor.
Sweet Cherries: It may be a short cherry season this year due to late freezes, so enjoy these local cherries while they last!
For choose-your-own members and those just jumping in for this week, please have your order in by 5 pm Tuesday, and leave some extra choices, just in case.
Rooted in Good Soil,
Gene & Victoria
