Hello, and welcome to our first week of our 2018 summer shares.

If your a returning shareholder you already know the drill.

If your new to us this year, here is how it works (usually anyways) we have pick up starting at 2 (unless I post on here before then that they are ready early, then feel free to come get em)

We would really appreciate it if you would bring your own basket or bag for pick up. If you forget, it’s cool, we will lend you a basket but you have to promise to return it. We have lost over half of our usual share baskets because of it.

There is a lot of extra produce and food in the shop. If there is something specific your looking for go ahead and ask if we have it in the garden.

Baskets

• Leeks
• Scallions
• Red onion
• Lettuce
• Apricots
• Garlic
• Carrots

Can you believe this is the last week of spring shares? Don’t forget we are skipping a week next week before summer shares begin June 7th.

This weeks basket includes:

Shallots

Green onions

Mustard greens

Salad Blend

Rainbow carrots (washed, peeled and sliced)

Cherries

Mixed herb bag

And, one of either a fennel bulb, artichokes or kohlrabi (unfortunately we didn’t have enough of each for everyone to have so we mixed it up).

Thank you all for your support!

See ya in a couple weeks!

One more week after this and our spring Shares will be over. Summer shares will start not the following Thursday but the one after that. I think the date is June 7th.

Cody would like to say happy birthday to any of you having or had a birthday this month. (He is getting a little excited about his coming up and thinks everyone is having a birthday soon too.)

Basket list:

• Garlic
• Strawberries
• Lettuce
• Artichoke
• Beets
• Green onions
• Peas
• Dill

Fava beans are optional if you want to try some

Hello all you wonderful people, isn’t it a fantastically warm day? Just about time to set up the kiddy pool and cool off! And while your dipping your toes you can be savoring the summer sweet flavor of fresh picked strawberries on a cool crisp garden salad….. who are we kidding 90% of those strawberries won’t even make it on to a salad. I know when I’m hulling them for either my son to eat or to make something with them, I end up eating at least half. (Usually with a sprinkling of sugar) it’s bad I know, but oh so good!

Basket goodies

• Lettuce
• Kale
• Beets
• Garlic
• Peas: snap or shelling
• Strawberries
• Broccoli
• Fingerling potato’s

This week the gardens are going through some major transitions. Several of our early spring crops like spinach, arugula and lettuce are bolting with the heat. Out they go and in with the new! Change is welcome, but tender greens will be missed as the weeks go by. Broccoli will be ready this week as well as the shelling peas, garlic and strawberries. Yay! The first of the fruit! The cherries are just starting to get the slightest of color change. With any luck, they will be in spring Shares.

A quick note~ we are looking for some old fashioned wood frame windows with the glass. If anyone has some floating around and want to trade for some extra produce, we’d love to make a deal! We are looking to build a protected area for our transplants with them.

• What beautiful wonderful rain we had this last week! We Definitely need it around here. Hopefully it helped all ya’ll gardens flourish.

We have a lot of the same things for you this week as you have had in the past, but that’s just what is available with spring Shares. (There are a few new things too, we try to bring varieties to you)

• With the black radish if you take the skin off it will be less spicy

Shares:

• Chives
• Asparagus
• Garlic scapes
• Black radish’s
• Lettuce mix
• Cabbage
• Arugula

There is SOOOO much going on this week. New baby goat (bumblebee) Shares, new flowers coming in, and the best part is the brand new addition to our family! Baby Oliver!

We will most likely close the shop up early, but the food side will remain open until Shares are complete (last person in please lock the door behind you.)

Shares this week include

Baby turnips and greens

Herbs: parsley, tarragon, dill

Pink beauty radishes

Large bag of salad greens

Scallions

Romanesco buds

Another week has come and gone and shares are still going strong.

We are doing our best to bring you something new every week but with it being spring be prepared for lots of greens. Who doesn’t love a nice crisp salad though right?

Also there has been some concerns about the use of plastic bags in shares. if you would like, your are more than welcome to bring an alternative for your personal shares and I will be happy to package it up for you. We have been racking our brains trying to come up with an alternative to plastic, but still keep everything fresh, and we are coming up blank or over the top expensive.

• Salad greens
• Baby arugula
• Scallions
• Asparagus
• Romanesco
• snap peas
• Lemon (not grown by us. But still organic)

This week started out so nice…..then the yucky wind came! (Let’s hope it doesn’t beat our plants up to much this time.)

We have a few, new fun foods for you to enjoy ,and I’m pretty sure next week we should have enough asparagus for everyone. yay!
