Payment Plan Reminder...Most of you are on the default payment plan for your CSA Share (unless you opted to pay all at once): When you signed up, you were charged 25% of the total cost of the CSA share. At your first pick up, you'll be charged another 25%, and the remaining 50% will be spread across all of the pick ups in the season. So for those picking up for the first time this week, you'll see a larger charge this week because it's charging for that 25%.
Remember to swing by your pick up place this week to grab your box!
Market pick up: We'll be at the Farmers Market tomorrow from 3-6:30. We keep your boxes chilling in Vanna White, so it doesn't matter when you come in that window, your produce will be cool and fresh. The market has been especially busy this season, and has adjusted the layout to allow for more vendors and better customer access. If this is your first time this year, you'll find us at the back of the market on the left!
On farm pick up: If you chose on farm pick up, we'll see you between 2-5 on Friday afternoon. If that window doesn't work for you, just let us know, there will be someone at the farm earlier, we just try to have the bulk of pick ups during a set time so that we can really dig into some major farm projects on Fridays.
The photo above is of a plover nest right smack in the middle of a bed of spinach. Unfortunately for the plover, in the past week, we've weeded through the block, and harvested in it twice (giving the nest wide berth), which was MUCH more activity than it wanted. Plover's are quite flamboyant in trying to keep people from their nests. They move away and act hurt, angry, or just very very loud to try to draw you away. So working in block 6B has been an exercise in plover management this week. We're hoping the eggs hatch soon and they move on, both for the mother's sanity and our own!
Cheers, Bonnie & Rudy
