D&V Organics CSA
Week 6
Everything is growing fast this time of year on the farm. Most of our days are spent harvesting an incredible diversity of produce for our CSA, wholesale accounts and for the farmer's markets we participate in every week. It is always a logistical struggle to keep up with all the harvesting as well as accomplish the myriad of other tasks on the farm. June is often a month filled with an incredible amount of harvesting, planting, crop maintenance and preparing new fields for our Fall plantings. It's hard to believe that we are already thinking about Fall, but much of our planning and preparations occur 2-3 months ahead of time. In the next couple of weeks, we'll be starting weekly plantings of Fall vegetable crops, so things like broccoli, cauliflower, radicchio, kale, lettuce and more will be on our greenhouse seeding lists. But we do have somewhat of a long haul through Summer before Fall seems like a reality.
This week's harvest list includes the following:
- Cauliflower
- Artichoke
- Red Cabbage
- Green Cabbage
- Fresh Tropea Onion
- Broccoli
- Kale
- Lettuce
- Bunched Baby Carrots
- Frisée
- Kohlrabi
- Cucumber
- Zucchini
- Beans, Various types Heirloom
- Fennel
