Summer 2010
Well...Summer is certainly here! The temperatures are
up and things are changing here at the farm. Most of
our Winter veggies are long gone and we've starting harvesting
all the great vegetables and fruit and warm weather brings.
SUMMER SEASON STARTS JUNE 21...
DON'T MISS IT!
The Summer season gets underway the week of June 21 and
we're eager to share all the great warm-weather veggies
we have growing at our farm with our great CSA members.
If you haven't yet renewed your share for the coming season
or would like to join us for the first time, we still have
shares available.
Registering/renewing is now as easy as visiting our web-site:

WHAT'S COMING FOR SUMMER??!!
We have lots of sweet onions to share with
our CSA members over the summer months - YUM!....
We should have plenty of slicing cukes as well
as Armenian cucumbers this summer.
A relatively cool month of May has pushed the
start of our tomato season back a couple weeks...
but, there are LOTS of beautiful green tomatoes
getting ready to ripen over the coming weeks.
Summer squash - yellow crookneck & zucchini.
Our great eggplant will come on toward the middle
of the summer and then just explode all the way into
the Fall. So many great things you can do with eggplant!
We've planted lots of watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew
melons and expect to have a great melon season.
