Our 12 week Spring CSA season ended last week. The Summer CSA starts now and will run for 10 weeks through the end of August. We’re still fighting deer, patching our screens and have called in the dog! Walking the neighborhood dog around the main gardens daily, hoping her scent will deter the deer. Too early to tell if this will be effective.
We’re getting ready to raise holiday turkeys for November and December. These will be heritage turkeys like we raised last year. If you’re interested, contact us this week for more details and to reserve yours.
Here’s our expected harvest for Summer Week 1:
Full Share: Tomatoes, Potatoes* (double portion), Peppers, Melon, Okra or beans, Black eyed peas, Squash, Cucumber, Onions, Garlic, Basil
Half Share: Tomatoes, Potatoes* (double portion), Peppers, Eggplant, Onions, Garlic, Basil
* Potatoes grown by our friends at Skinny Lane Farm in Elgin
