DeepSeeded Farm’s CSA Has Begun!

Man is it fun to have all my CSA members coming out to the farm again!  The pick-up times are a great social setting, and it is really fulfilling to get to know the folks I’m growing food for.  After our seasonal break, I got to catch up with last year’s members… and since we’ve expanded, I got to meet many new members as well.

My CSA membership goal this year is 160 members/households, and we started this year with 156! (I’m still hoping to fill those last 4 spaces).  We had a nice first harvest on Tuesday and another big one on Friday and, despite the difficult spring, we’re starting at the same time as last year with a nice array of veggies.  Early in the season I always have some anxiety about the upcoming harvest, but as the season progresses and the abundance manifests, it’s easy to send everyone home with a full basket.  Here’s some pics from the 1st week:

Three farms are starting from scratch.

They are turning the dirt and hoping to be successful enough to turn a profit, and to become a valuable part of their communities as suppliers of organically grown food.

Peaceful Valley is giving them a head start by offering them special pricing as part of this Freshman Farmer program.
