Pic above: One thing we don't get to do very much of is talk with other farmers. There's not a whole lot of people growing food using some of the same systems that we do around our neck of the woods. So we always love to visit with fellow farmer, Beth Leimbach, when she's back home in Libby. Beth runs the Organic Farm at Evergreen State College over in Olympia, WA and we LOVE to hear about her experiences and get her thoughts on what's going on at our farm.
It's time to swing by your pick up location to grab your produce this week. It's going to be a hot day at the market tomorrow, but we hear there will be cool drinks, shady spots, and even a misting tent. We've also heard that there might be some awesome musical entertainment so don't miss it if you can help it!
We've started an unofficial custom of having 'open farm Fridays' from 2-5 on Friday afternoons. This is a great time for folks to come out to the farm for produce (we won't have a full market lineup, but we're sure to have some great crops harvested and available) or maybe to pick your own bouquet (we currently have sunflowers, but gladiolus and dahlias aren't far away!). It's also a great time for CSA members or other regular customers to come on out and see where their food is grown. If you're curious about our growing style, what the farm looks like, or simply want to get a closer look, we'll have a self-guided tour sheet available for you if you'd like to go on a farm walk. And finally, this is also an excellent time for any CSA members that have questions about the season, crops, how our CSA management system 'Harvie' works, etc., to stop by and get your questions answered. Consider popping out on an upcoming Friday afternoon!
Looking forward to seeing you at pick up!
Cheers, Bonnie & Rudy
