Our CSA filled quickly this year. I suspect many people are starting to appreciate the idea of their veggies grown locally and only touched by their farmer rather than going through the many hands it takes to get produce to a grocery store (not to mention the chemicals and such to keep the vegetables 'looking' good). It is also perhaps true that avoiding the big farmer's markets adds some comfort as well, but I still plan to...

Below is the email I sent to CSA members to describe our first boxes. A couple corrections/addendums...
1) I lied... we did manage to pick enough green beans for everyone to have a few.
2) While the first of you may have had some beautiful swiss chard as is shown in the picture, many of you found yours wilted pretty quickly. This was a failed experiment in storage, apologize for that! Maybe we'll be able to try it agai...

It's that time of year again, can you believe it? In an effort to meet our customer's needs, we are offering 6 week, 8 week, and 10 week options for $150, $200, and $250 respectively. In addition, we'll be able to add more customers this year so spread the word! We have a few spots open and are looking for customers that love fresh and healthy vegetables without pesticides, locally grown.
Also as part of the CSA, y...

It's August already and the veggies are piling up. Expect another big box of veggies this week. In addition to what you had last week, we will add in the first of the beets. We also have quite a few tomatoes coming in so get those tomato recipes ready!
The cucumbers are going crazy. If you're interested in pickling sized cucumbers, I can pick a big batch of small cucumbers for you, just let me know. At this point...

We're getting a few more tomatoes coming in so you should be seeing more and more tomatoes as we continue through the weeks of July and August. The carrots are also starting to mature so this week we will make sure we've got a few for each of you. The green beans are still going strong as are the zucchini and cucumbers.
Details for this Wednesday 7/25, Pickup 4:00-6:00 pm:
Pickup location: Four Cats Farm, 191...

On Wednesday 7/18, we were thrilled to put together our vegetables for all CSA members. The best part is getting to know our customers and having the options of offering little extras of our bounty. Last week we were swimming in green beans and I don't see that stopping for awhile. I probably need to dig out the green bean recipes to catch up. I'll attach some pictures from last week.
The same day of th...

One reason we love having this business is we get to meet our customers and share our love of gardening and vegetables with others. Thanks to everyone that came out to celebrate our grand opening and check out the farm. For those unable to make it, we are looking forward to seeing all of you this Wednesday for our first CSA pickup.
The day was a hot one but the kids still managed to run around and enjoy t...
