Achieving Total Consciousness
We’ve had a lot of broccoli this season and there is still much more to come. I hope everyone has enjoyed it and has had as much as they wanted to date. The reason I bring this up is that one of the great challenges of CSA is providing just the right amount of food […]
Attack of the Squash
If there is one thing you can never have too much of its zucchini. Wait, actually, let me rephrase that: if there is one thing you can never have too much of its zucchini recipes. Now would be a good time to find your stash. Let’s start with a few announcements then a transcript of […]
Jurassic Farm
We still have shares left. Keep sending people our way. We will prorate the price for the remainder of the season. This is true for all the shares we sell… This week we visit the fascinating world of dinosaurs, as in dinosaur kale. Dinosaur kale, or as it is more appropriately named nero di Toscana or Tuscan […]

We Will Harvest No Veggie Before Its Time
I was asked by one of our members about our harvest. To paraphrase: “Do you harvest the produce on one particular day of the week then dole it out over the course of the week? I want to know which day I should choose as my pick-up day”. An interesting question with a very long […]
Has CSA Farming Become Extinct?
The answer to that question below, but first a few other items. Despite the cold as of late – and the earlier lack of rain – the farm is looking wonderful this season. That’s not to say it hasn’t looked wonderful in past seasons, just that it is looking especially wonderful this season. We had […]
