CSA Week 4

May 27th, 2008
Four Frog Farm | Blog

We are now entering week four (of 24) for the CSA.  Today we had our drop-off/pick-up for our 10 monday members.  We have 23 members in all - 10 on Monday and 13 on Wednesday.  We are going to add members when the summer stuff really picks up, but for now, that is our max.

Let’s see what was in the boxes:

Ryan works hard in the sun1 lb Sugar Snap/Snow Peas
Zucchini/Yellow Crookneck Summer Squash
Romaine and Black-Seeded Simpson Lettuce Heads
Broccoli
Basil
Parsley
Radishes
Garlic Scapes
Lacinato Kale
Rainbow Chard

Ryan and I were both very happy about the contents of the boxes.  It went lighter on the greens (ie no lettuce mix nor spring mix) and heavier on new stuff, such as peas and summer squash.  It was our first picking of summer squash and hope that it does its thing from now until mid-november.

We are still working very hard, yet I have learned to take a lot more time off.  Apart from the market this last saturday I didn’t work the rest of the weekend.  It is so rejuvenating to have some time off.

Now we are going to have a very full week planting rows and rows of winter squash, a third planting of corn, more spring mix, radishes, cilantro, beets, tomatoes, peppers eggplants ...it seems my list is on recycle constantly.

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.
