Welcome to Fall share! This share will go for the next 4 weeks. If you are new to Harvie please check out Harvie University-there are great step by step instructions on all the different functions you can use to customize your share each week.
If you are new to Oak Spring Farm WELCOME! We are honored and excited to grow for you! We do things a touch differently than other CSAs. IF you pick up your share at one of our designated pick up spots you will receive your produce in an Oak Spring reusable cooler bag. This makes pick up super easy for you and it eases our environmentally conscious minds. Please bring back your bag each week. At the end of the season please keep your last bag and use it every time you shop. Save a tree, save a turtle and share your support of our local, organic goodness.
If you pick up at MOMs Hampden please know it's important to pick up your bag at Customer Service by 9pm (close) on Tuesday. The bag's contents get donated to a local charity first thing Wednesday morning. If you pick up at John Brown General you from from 11am-6pm (close). The bags are displayed in the center of the store. Choose your bag, with your personalized label carefully. Sometimes names can look alike. If you pick up at the Wine and Spirits on York Rd you have Tuesday and Wednesday to pick up your bag. Please remember to support this local business with an occasional purchase to show your support of their support for local farms.
As I write this I wonder if tonight will truly be the first freeze of the season. We are up on a bit of a knoll and can often miss a frost when our neighbors in the valley get a crunchy, glistening ice sheen on their ground. We've picked yellow wax beans for probably the last time. The cherry tomatoes have said goodbye to make room for overwintered carrots in the high tunnel. The Napa cabbage looks dashing and the bok choi is substantial. The field greens should be able to withstand a frost or 2. Frost makes the spinach sweeter.
Small multigrain loaf will be the bread share this week.
Thank you for your support of this farm and all the local small businesses that work with us!
Be Well,
