Late Season Farm Pic Catch Up

Hornworm.

This Lacinato kale is tall enough now for Graham to crawl through it like a tunnel. (mid September)

A basket of salsa ingredients. I couldn't bring myself to start chopping without taking a picture first.

Lemon cucumbers trellised. (early August)

Graham checking out the Calabrese broccoli. (mid August)

Asian eggplant in our packing shed.

Sungold cherry tomatoes. This was taken before we started picking and before we found late blight. They don't look this good anymore. (late July)

Curly parsley.

Magenaspreen goosefoot, a salad ingredient.

Calendula.

CSA Starts Next Week, July 7th

You heard it hear first. We probably could have kicked it off this week, but the share would have been a little lean and the extra week will give us a chance to hammer out a few of the remaining details. We'll call of you shareholders this week to make sure that you know what's up and we'll post some details here later in the week. No guarantees just yet, but the first share may contain Italian kale, pac choi, fresh garlic and -- maybe, just maybe -- some strawberries.
