CSA Week #4

CSA Week #4 Share: kale, collards, cabbage, celery, swiss chard, lettuce, onion, and microgreens.



I also have enough flowers coming up that I can play around with and try my hand at arranging bouquets.  I still have a lot of learn, but I was pretty happy with this one I did on the fly.


Even though these tomatoes are "early girls," they are still not ripening!  I am so looking forward to tomato season...


As growers, we also support other local farms and right now we source all our herbal medicinal needs from Fields Without Fences, right here in Frenchtown.

CSA Week #3 & Almost the End of School

Farming and teaching high school at the same time is a madness I'm starting to love.  But in a few short days, the school year will come to and end and we can focus on our CSA full time!

In this week's share: collards, carrots, kale, lettuce, radishes, celery, microgreens, red onion, and garlic.

The weather has also been unseasonably warm for this early in the season and the breeze on the porch is just what I need after work + harvesting...

These Seascape strawberries are just unbelievable and I can't believe we've gone this long without growing strawberries!  We will definitely be adding more plants next year.

CSA Week #2 & Some Firsts...

This week's CSA included head lettuce, red/white onion, spinach, collards, arugula, kale, radishes, live microgreens, and a potted petunia.


Some "firsts" here on the farm are our first strawberries from our newly established Seascape strawberry patch.

And also here is the first flower I've ever grown from seed (I know it's hard to believe, but I'm only just getting into flowers).  It's an English Daisy.



Annnnnd, for lunch this week is.... salad again!  Truth be told, I eat salad all year long, but it always tastes better when it's grown right outside my door.  😁
