Hello everyone. My e-mail this week will be a bit more brief as we are currently taking a long weekend to visit my family farm up in Washington (just like many of you, we haven't seen my parents for over a year). The kids are just glowing to be able to give Grandma and Grandpa hugs.
Last year, after many years of delivering in the afternoons, we surveyed all of you and received the resounding reply that you'd prefer your boxes arrive in the morning. So that is what we are doing. REMINDER- what with the summer heat, we suggest you try to pick you boxes up as early as you can after the pick up window has started.
We finally have a few more items to add to boxes! Green cabbages are ready and we have a bumper round of red radishes, so more of those to go around. We're going to harvest our first bed of carrots, though they'll likely be on the smallish side. The potatoes are now over knee high and we're starting to see little ping pong ball sized tubers. Mmmmm can't wait for dilled new potatoes (one of my family's seasonal pleasures).

Happy eating!!
Teresa and the crew.
PS We thought we'd found a CSA Manager, but sadly, she changed her mind. So keep your ears peeled for a good candidate. We're still looking...
