Hi Friends,
Spring is putting on quite a show at the farm! The fields are overflowing with so many greens, flowers that we planted at the end of last summer (lupine, snapdragons, love-in-a-mist, foxglove, larkspur, and a ton more), and each week brings a little more of the abundance we've been working toward all year. As much as we're enjoying these beautiful spring harvests, we're also looking ahead to summer and all the tomatoes, sweet corn, melons, peaches, and other favorites that are just around the corner. Thank you for being part of the journey with us!
Native Plants are now available for preorder, and will be delivered beginning next week. They’re at the bottom of the list.
We'd like to emphasize the importance of selecting extra choices with your order whenever possible. Farming is always at the mercy of the weather and other forces beyond our control. As many of you saw with last week's strawberries, excessive moisture quickly took its toll on the crop. While we do our best to provide everything you've selected, nature sometimes has other plans. Having a few backup choices helps ensure we can still fill your box with great products if an item becomes unavailable at the last minute.
The Spring Special, a choice of a Pot of Herbs or Pot of Flowers, is going out this week. Please let us know which you prefer.
Here’s what we have for Gene’s Choice this week:
Radishes (Spring Color Blend): A rainbow of crunchy roots that will brighten up any salad.
Red Russian Kale: Tender leaves with striking purple veins and a surprisingly sweet, earthy flavor.
Garlic Scapes: The curly flower stalks of garlic plants, offering a fresh, green garlic kick.
Red Leaf Lettuce: Soft, ruffled leaves with a delicate texture and vibrant burgundy-red color.
Mizuna: Feathery Asian greens with a gentle mustard flavor and a crisp bite.
Spring Onions: Young onions that are beginning to have a larger bulb, bringing a sweet, fresh onion flavor from top to bottom.
Broccoli: Dense green florets with a clean, garden-fresh taste and satisfying crunch. Will be replacing broccoli with strawberries if they are available.
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
