View from the Tractor
Week 3 of the CSA and it is almost July, these are both momentous achievements in the farm season. It is wild to think that we are at the half way point of the 2024 while it feels like there is such a long way to reach the zenith of the farming year. No matter the time of year we are always looking forward, hence the fall crops are going into the ground next week which includes cauliflower, and cabbages. In the greenhouse our fall radicchios, broccoli and watermelon radishes are being seeded.
This week we are getting our first taste of summer crops with summer squash and pickling cucumbers. The peppers, eggplants tomatoes and our boutique summer squashes are growing fast like a toddler.
All of us here at Kilt Farm wish you a safe and happy 4th of July. If you are driving along the diagonal on Thursday, please honk when you go by the farm. The plants don't stop growing in honor of a national holiday, so we don't stop working.
In appreciation of great food,
Michael and all of the farmers at Kilt Farm.

Pasta If you haven't tried a box of incredible pasta from Pastificio yet, this is your sign! This week are offering the lovely, conch shell shape also known as campanelle. Pastificio was born when Claudia and her husband teamed up to change the pasta industry; creating hand-crafted pastas made from ancient and heritage grains to bring back local & high-end pastas to the market. These pastas truly stand out from the rest you might find on store shelves: Because they are made from Colorado-grown wheat varieties that pre-date todays typical processed wheats, they are packed with more nutrients and flavor. Throw some CSA veggies in a pasta dish with Pastificio's pastas and you won't be disappointed. |

Flowers Our friends at the Fresh Herb Co bring us beautiful weekly-rotating bouquets of flowers that are grown, picked, and arranged-to-perfection in Colorado-- In fact, these flowers can be found just down the road from our farm! Chet and Kristy Anderson started growing flowers and herbs with a mission to provide fresh and sustainably-grown color and joy to the homes of their neighbors and community. These bouquets are always stunning and are the perfect gift or table setting! |
