CSA Weed #15 - Customize

Posted on August 28th, 2024 by Bonnie and Rudy Geber

Wow! Thank you for showing up folks! We took over 700lbs of melons to The Farmers Market at Libby yesterday, and we left with barely any. We won't lie to you, melon season is a bit of a love/hate season for us. A full tote of melons is 70lbs and we seem to need to pick each one up about 5 times before we're through with it, lol. Melons are a lot of work, and they're stressful when they start ripening all at once, so to have you show up and appreciate them and our work is so awesome. We'll be doing our best to disperse this heavy, but wonderful crop throughout the community for the next few weeks, be sure to grab one while you can! THANK YOU ?

It's time to get into your profile and customize (if you wish) your box for next week. In addition to the vegetables in our harvest estimate this week, we've got lots of great add-ons from other local producers. 

Speaking of add-ons, we have some excellent local producers with great products to add or swap into your boxes. This week, we have:

- Artisan sourdough bread by Rachel at Pine Cabin Co. 

- Farm Fresh eggs from the Miller Farm

- Pork from Double N Farms - ground pork, breakfast sausage and hot Italian sausage!

- Fresh pressed apple cider and apple butter from Farm to Market Store

- Honey from McLaury Apiaries

- Dahlia bunches from our flower patch as it produces beautiful blooms this summer!

Have a great weekend, and as always, let us know if you have any questions about our farm or the nuts and bolts of using Harvie. 

Cheers, Bonnie & Rudy
