Farm Happenings for June 2, 2020

Posted on May 29th, 2020 by Emily Asmus

Welcome to the Welcome Table Farm CSA season! For those of you who have been with us for 14 season-thank you for your commitment to local food, and our farm and family specifically. For those of you just joining- we are please to extend our fields to your table. All of you- please read on for the specifics to the 2020 season. 

Your first box with be this Friday. Boxes will be at the pick up locations by 3pm. Boxes will stay there for you to pick up until noon on the next day. Please be respectfully of your fellow eaters by allowing just one person at a time to collect their box. This means, just one person at a time in the carport, on the porch, or in the farmstand. We also ask that you wear a mask as curtesy to your hosts and others collecting their boxes.

The boxes now have a plastic liner that is new, clean, and makes it easy to take your food away. Please carefully fold and LEAVE the waxed box at the drop site. We will reuse these and the ice packs. We will not resuse boxes, rubber bands, bags, egg cartons, or cardboard pint containers that go home with you.

Home delivery will occur between 3-4:30pm. If you leave a cooler on your porch we will transfer your food into the cooler and take the waxed box back for reuse. If we have a valid cell phone number in your Harvie account we will text you when the box is delivered. 

If you have questions about your pick up location, or delivery please contact me directly at 509.876-9373. Please DO NOT DISTURB your site hosts. 

In this box there are many familiar farm goodies. An unusual and special addition for this week are the flowers from the elderberry bushes- elder flowers. Here is link for making cordial with these delicate spring blooms. https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/homemade-elderflower-cordial

We are also offering tea, asparagus, dry beans, jam, and cheese from other farmer friends of the Walla Walla valley. Enjoy the selection!

Remember that you have until Sunday at 8pm to customize your box. The early you do so, the greater the selection for exchanges and additions. 

Happy eating, 

Emily and the whole farm crew
