Week 9 Winter/Spring Cooper's CSA Farm Happenings

Posted on March 7th, 2019 by Coopers CSA Farm

** Cut off times for share customization will END ON SUNDAY NIGHT (regularly Monday night) as we have a conference we need to attend next week. This means we need to start our week on Monday! Thank you**

What a sunny week it has been...still cold, but sunny!

What's new on the farm;

  • Seed inventory;
    • has been counted and we will be ordering what we need for planting in April.
    • We start growing the plants in trays in the greenhouse when the weather gets warmer so that the plants are more developed before we 'transplant' them into the field.
  • East Central Farm Show;
    • During the 'off season', is when farm shows & conferences are held so that the farmers actually have time to go. These are shows where agriculture companies advertise and chat with the local ag community. 
    • These types of shows are open to the public for all to attend and learn about agriculture! 
      • PS- You get a lot of free swag ;) 
  • Green House Items
    • Lettuce is back!
    • Still waiting on Hot House tomatoes, hopefully there will be some for the last weeks.
  • Summer Share Sign Up Open
    • Just a little reminder if you haven't signed up yet.
    • If you have please tell your friends, family, co-workers, gym buddies, and hockey pals. We're trying to expand and we need your help!
      • Refer a friend bonuses available! 

And now for the most important farm happening for March; 

  • Maple Syrup
    • It looks like this weekend is going to kick off the Sap running!
    • For sap to flow out of maple trees, the weather needs to be 6 during the day and below 0 during the night. 
    • We can keep collecting sap until buds start to sprout on the trees. This usually happens when the weather constantly stays above 12 during the day and does not drop below 0 during the night. (Mid April)
    • Watch are social media for how we harvest and make maple syrup!

That is all for now folks! 

Have a Great Weekend,

-The Coopers
