Spore Wars
A bit ago on a farm just down the road apiece… It has not been a good week here at the farm. We have been farming here for thirteen seasons now and this is the first time we have been hit with late blight on our tomatoes and potatoes. I suppose we should be happy that […]
The Flavors of Summer!
The season continues strongly again this week. After a very brief break in sweet corn (Wednesday and Thursday did not get any last week but do not fear, the sweet corn week is not in sync with the other vegetables week so you will get the same amount of sweet corn) it returned with a […]
The Other Kind of Earworm
First I want to thank the one person who contacted our complaint line. The complaint department has been working overtime sitting by the phones, facebook page and email system waiting for someone to ring in. It is a thankless job requiring a tremendous amount of fortitude and patience. But this hard work paid off when we […]
The Complaint Line is Open
Heading into week number seven. One difficulty with being a farm is we deal with perishable products. Over the years we humans have discovered ways to slow the progression of the produce’s demise by using refrigeration and for non-organic produce, chemical treatments. Of course we don’t use chemical treatments for our produce but we do […]
This Week’s Newsletter version 2.0
Last Thursday I wrote a newsletter intending to publish it this week. It dealt with my sudden need to make something for dinner which caused me to come up with a great recipe using stuff I found growing here on the farm. I thought, “This would make a great newsletter showing how you don’t need […]
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 […]
I Say “Kohlrabi”, You Say “What the Heck is That?”
I don’t know, maybe it is the start of the season, but whatever the cause it seems there is always a lot of information that needs to be delivered leaving little space for news from the farm. What fun is that? Anyway, here is a bunch of information interspersed with farm news. With July 4th coming […]
