Welcome (and welcome back) to the CSA season! We at Warner Farm are thrilled to see so many returning members from previous seasons as well as those who are new to us.
This is our 13th year of running a CSA, and while we have continued to see it grow and evolve over time from a 26-member CSA in the parking lot of the Woburn Whole Foods to a program with 5 locations and 500+ members, we are proud to offer the same local, exceptionally-delicious produce that our farm is known for.
Each week's "Farm Happening" will contain:
- updates covering what’s happening on the farm
- tips to better navigate your Harvie account
- a featured item of the week + delicious recipes
- the lineup of items available to put in your box!
Be sure to read + save these emails so that you can refer back to them if you have questions in the future. Additionally, we want to know what you want to know about our farm! Click here to submit your questions; we’ll do our best to answer them in each week's Farm Happening.
Thank you for your support of our farm and our partner farms; we wouldn’t be here without you all.
– Phoebe (and the rest of the Warner Farm crew)
FEATURED ITEM THIS WEEK… Asparagus!
Fun Facts: This stalky vegetable is nutritious and delicious, containing folate as well as vitamins A, C, and K. One asparagus plant can produce for up to 30 years, and it grows so abundantly in the Connecticut River Valley of Western Massachusetts that we often just call it “grass”!
