So, with the temps cooling and the daylight hours waning, the total number of boxes that we put out each week will also be on th1 read more »
Pop-Up Week #1-B
Finished the onions! Over 2,000 lbs of red & yellow storage onions finally cured and trimmed - it's time to stock up! We're looking forward to a great market day tomorrow and it looks like Mother Nature wants to cooperate as it's looking like 75 and sunny. Don't forget to swing by your pick up1 read more »
CSA Week #18-A
Hi All - It's here, week #18 and the final week of the CSA season!

CSA Week #18-B
Whew! Another busy week, and it's not done yet. Some highlights for us include our first ever delivery that was big enough to need a pallet (pic above).

Though we're starting to be in wrap up mode for the s1 read more »

CSA Week #16-B
Potatoes and onions are out of the ground, and more cover crop seed is in. Things are happening how they're supposed to, and we're going to do what we can to continue the trend! This week marked our last outdoor transplanting, and probably our last outdoor direct seeding for crops that are meant to1 read more »

You know what time it is, right?! Time to customize your boxes for week #15. So get in there and switch/swap/add to until your veggies next week are just as you'd like them.

CSA Week #15-B
It's been a major harvest week for us and we were really glad to have an extra hand on deck for a little bit. Bonnie's cousin Mali showed up for work while visiting, and ended up harvesting cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes and LOTS of onions - a well rounded visit for sure -- Thanks, Mali!!
