Farm Happenings for May 21, 2021

Posted on May 13th, 2021 by Will Nelson

CSA pickup details for Friday are listed below. But first, some updates from our fields and pastures....

This is a busy time of year at the farm. The greenhouses are starting to produce crops and we already have 4 fields planted. The crew has been hard at working keeping the greenhouses weeded, planting crops in the field, and doing a lot of hoeing. As the students finish the semester we slowly have a smaller and smaller crew. Luckily, within the next two weeks we will have the majority of our summer crew on board and ready to work. Next week we are scheduled to put our first heat-loving crops in the ground: tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, cucumbers, and squash. Summer is almost here!  

We are excited for the CSA to start and to begin harvesting for you again! We are looking forward to sharing with you the abundance of spring and summer crops to come.

Friday Pickup
 
If you are signed up for the curbside pickup in Carlisle for Friday, please follow the directions listed below to navigate your way to our CSA location at Project SHARE. 
 
From North Orange Street, turn into the Dickinson College Facilities Management, Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet (CPYB), and Project SHARE parking lot. Proceed straight toward the far end of the parking lot where Project SHARE is located. Continue past the entrance to Project SHARE and slowly drive around the back of the building (this is a one-way alley). 
 
The CSA Curbside Pickup will be located out of the back of Project SHARE. Please stop at the large garage door and a farm staff member will greet you and deliver your CSA share. We ask that members please not get out of their cars.
 
If you have any problems or get turned around, please call Jenn Halpin at 717-713-0275 and she will guide you in.
