From Your Farmers

Posted on April 15th, 2020 by Barbara Amezcua

Hello- This is our 3rd week of offering Weekend Box orders for pick up at Markets and we're hoping as the weeks go on that the system is becoming a bit easier as it becomes more familiar.  Please let us know if something is missing from your order. We're getting better, but we're still working out the kinks in this very new system. You may notice lots of your favorite veggies aren't available.  Just a reminder, it is still very early in our season.  Last week we got in a bunch of transplants and our first Spring sowings of beets, carrots, and more, but those plantings are quite a ways away from being harvest able.  This is why our regular CSA Season doesn't usually start till late May.

On another note we just picked the first rhubarb of the Spring from divisions we got from Route 1 Farms in Santa Cruz- so exciting!! It's much better than the variety that we have grown for years.  Excited to pick and make a bit available starting mid-week next week.  We cooked ours up with a little sugar and had it over icecream for Easter.  Such a gorgeous bright pink color!

Stay safe and enjoy your farm fresh goodies this week!
