It's a bittersweet feeling for us to close our summer 2020 CSA season. Despite the uncertainties of dealing with a terrifying pandemic, we are blessed to have had an excellent growing season. Some crops exceeded our expectations. Some others fell short. We didn't have any major disease issues or damaging weather. Our only major pest issue was the relentless deer pressure, much more than in years past (so one major winter project this year will be a deer fence). Working with Harvie for the first time has been very rewarding for us and we hope it has been for you as well. Contracting out the administrative burden of our CSA allowed us to spend more time in the fields focussing on growing your food. More importantly, we hope that you were pleased with the convenience of holding/rescheduling your shares when needed as well as customizing your weekly boxes. In a few days, you will receive an email from Harvie with an end-or-the-season survey. If you are so inclined, please respond. We would love to hear what you have to say about our produce and about Harvie.
But the most important part of today's farm happening is you. We are honored by your support and your trust. You are the reason we kept having so much fun growing the best quality food, learning many new farming strategies, and figuring out how to most efficiently pack your produce in the boxes we chose for our CSA this year. All of these we did while following new safety protocols to ensure your well being. After eighteen wonderful weeks of growing and delivering food for our CSA program, we are exhausted. But at the same time, we are excited about next season and we look forward to having you participate in the program again. On behalf of our farm crew and our family, I thank you for your support. Please stay in touch and keep safe. Blessings from the homestead,
Pedro
