Hello Friends,
The Spring CSA begins in two weeks! You can find all of the info here.
Calling all volunteers! As the season ramps up, so does the work here at the farm. From harvesting and weeding, to seedling work and planting, there’s plenty to do and we could truly use an extra set of hands.
In exchange for four hours of work, you’ll head home with a generous share of the harvest, plus farm-fresh eggs, bread, baked goods, seedlings, and flowers when available. It’s a wonderful way to connect more deeply with your food, spend time outdoors, and experience firsthand what goes into growing your CSA each week.
Supporting small farms isn’t just about purchasing products, it’s about sustaining a local food system. Small farms like Gene’s Greens rely on community involvement to stay resilient in the face of rising costs, unpredictable weather, and increasing competition. When you volunteer, you’re helping keep farmland in production, strengthening local food access, and ensuring that fresh, nutrient-dense food continues to reach families right here in our community.
If you’ve ever wanted to dig in a little deeper and be part of the process, this is your chance. We’d love to have you out on the farm. Right now the best days to volunteer are Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
Here’s what we have for Gene’s Choice this week:
Red Leaf Lettuce: Tender, vibrant leaves with a mild, slightly sweet flavor and delicate texture. Perfect for fresh salads, sandwiches, or as a colorful base for grain bowls.
Sweet Potatoes: Naturally sweet and creamy with a rich, earthy depth. Roast, mash, cube for soups, or slice into fries. An easy, nourishing staple that stores beautifully at room temp.
Apples Mix: A rotating blend of crisp, juicy apples ranging from sweet to tart. Great for snacking, baking, or slicing into salads.
Turnips: Smooth, mild roots with a subtle peppery note. Delicious roasted to caramelized perfection, mashed with butter, or thinly sliced raw for a fresh bite.
Brussels Sprouts: Tight, flavorful little heads that shine when roasted until crispy on the outside and tender inside. Toss with olive oil and salt, or shave thin for a hearty winter slaw.
Kale: Hearty, nutrient-dense greens with a bold, earthy flavor. Massage for salads, sauté with garlic, or add to soups and stews to boost both flavor and nutrition.
Butternut Squash: Sweet, nutty flesh with a velvety texture. Roast, purée into soup, or cube for sheet-pan dinners. This winter favorite brings warmth and comfort to any meal.
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
