Greetings Farmshare members!
We are pleased to have completed the first week of our new customizable shares with only a few hiccups along the way! Thank you everyone for your patience as we troubleshoot some of the kinks that have come up. This week should be smooth as butter!
Another great spring share with a special treat from an organic farm down in Oregon. Sugar snap peas! Although not grown here on the farm, we thought to include these tasty snacks since that crisp pea flavor is an essential taste of spring. We have some growing here as well but because our climate is a bit cooler than the rest of the region, our peas won't be producing enough for shares for another week or two.
Also, some of you will see garlic scapes in your share- another flavor of spring. The scapes are the tender flower stalk and bud of the garlic plant. Only the hardneck varieties produce these edible scapes and only for a few weeks each spring. Delicious and fleeting.
We will continue to offer flour from our neighbor, Nash's Organic Farm. Check the "extras" to try out their Rye Flour, Hard Red Wheat, or Buckwheat flour- all milled for us this month!
This week we have three more crew mates joining us and our team is now complete! Harvest season has truly begun.
We hope you enjoy your shares this week! And we are ever grateful for your support,
The River Run crew
