Hold on market for a while...


This weather has been pretty annoying to us this year. The picture is of bolting lettuce...

Just when things were starting to grow a heat wave hit and all of our nice spring stuff is done. Our radishes turned to disgusting pithy hollow balls, our broccoli rabb bolted, and lettuce turned bitter. The good news is the turnips, beets, squash, beans, and the like seem to be loving it, not to mention the tomatoes and peppers!

There will be lots of yummy food this year, but not this weekend. So we have decided to stop doing market for a few weeks. This will give our stuff a chance to grow a little more without us having to pick baby stuff for market and fearing that our members will get short shifted their first week.
Speaking of the first CSA week. We will be announcing it to an email to our members this weekend! It will be really soon, but not next week. Our season may start a little slow, but before long their will be more produce then they know what to do with!

We are seriously eyeing a nice big hoop house which will give us a place to grow earlier crops for everyone next year! But we know that our season will be a good one,and we thank all our members for hanging in with us...
