Kale or chard, cucumber, yellow onions, summer squash, romano beans, tomatoes and lettuce. Thursday’s share will probably be similar, but may not have the romano beans and second head of lettuce, and if we get lucky there will be the first sweet peppers of the year. Usually I plan for just one head of lettuce… Continue reading Summer Share 9 of 13

Tomatoes, summer squash, romano beans, cucumbers and lettuce. Finally there were enough tomatoes for folks to get a couple in the share and with all of this heat I’m hoping Thursday will be the same. Similarly, the romano beans are finally producing, and I had a nice little dish of romano beans with some of… Continue reading Summer Share 8 of 13

Lettuce, carrots, summer squash, cucumbers, and romano beans. Maybe with the forecasted heat this weekend the tomatoes will finally ripen enough fruit to put them in the shares, but if not they’ll be on the farm stand again. I’m hoping that we’ll have enough basil for Thursday to get that in their share as Monday… Continue reading Predictions for Summer Share #8

I forgot to take a photo of the share while I was at the farm but fortunately I brought home an almost complete share: chard, Amarosa and German Butterball potatoes, red onions, cucumbers, summer squash and lettuce. Monday is also getting a stem or two of basil and Thursday will hopefully get that in week… Continue reading Summer Share 7 of 13

Lettuce, cucumbers, summer squash, potatoes, and red onions. Chard is possible and the big question is if we’ll have enough tomatoes ripen to give some of those out! We’ll also keep checking on the romano beans, which are usually reliable and the plants actually look great, but for some reason they didn’t seem to set… Continue reading Predictions for Summer Share #7

The parking lot at Trinity Lutheran is being repaired so I expect that might impact tonight’s CSA pick up. This was happening Monday night too and folks were still able to walk through, although tonight you might have to park on the street. It looks like the side gate might be open – 55th and… Continue reading Temporary parking update

Summer squash, sweet onions, carrots, Lemon and Salt and Pepper cucumbers, and red leaf lettuce. Shares continue to be slightly smaller than planned as we wait for some of the summer fruits to ripen. The cucumbers and summer squash are delicious right now and are hitting their peak. This will be the only week of… Continue reading Summer Share 6 of 13

I completely missed the predictions for Share #5, and the reality was I would have gotten most of it wrong as there were a few last minute decisions there. Next week seems like it might be similar: Lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, summer squash, fresh sweet onions. I was hoping that both tomatoes and romano beans would… Continue reading Predictions for Summer Share #6

Chard, carrots, summer square, lettuce, cucumber and baby leeks. On the farm stand we had the first of the romano beans, extra cucumbers and green crisp lettuce, and a few extra carrots. I think that we’ll have the same share on Thursday, but this week has been really hard to predict with the back and… Continue reading Summer Share 5 of 13

Summer squash made it into the shares today, two heads of lettuce, fresh red onions, gold beets, green beans and rhubarb. The rhubarb is in there because it was shading out some on the onions and when we cut it back we ended up with enough to give everyone a few lovely looking stalks. I’ve… Continue reading Summer Share 4 of 13

We had the first harvest of cucumbers today, just a few for the farm stand. Summer squash is slowly ramping up and I’m hopeful that we’ll have enough to put in the shares and not just on the farm stand next week. Also on the harvest list will be lettuce, beets and fresh onions. There… Continue reading Predictions for Summer Share #4

Collards, French Grey shallots, Yukon Gold potatoes, green beans, lettuce. A relatively small, simple share today, but full of good stuff. There weren’t quite enough summer squash to put in the shares yet so those were on the farm stand along with kale, kohlrabi and extra green beans and lettuce. Thursday might get summer squash… Continue reading Summer Share 3 of 13

Lettuce, collards, Yukon Gold new potatoes and French Grey shallots. In week 2 Thursday’s shares got green beans and we should have enough for Monday to get them too, with a little luck Thursday will see them again too. Thursday also saw summer squash on the farm stand since there wasn’t quite enough from the… Continue reading Predictions for Summer Share #3

Green onions, basil, red potatoes, carrots, gold beets, lettuce. These are the last of the green onions and the first taste of basil. We had green beans on the farm stand as there weren’t enough to go in all of the shares but there might be on Thursday. We also had, and will have, kale… Continue reading Summer share 2 of 13

Summer got off to a good start with a big share full of the last of the spring crops. It will be a slightly smaller share this coming week as we enter the typical lull between the cool weather loving spring veggies and the heat loving summer veggies. We should have lettuce, potatoes, beets, green… Continue reading Predictions for Summer Share #2

A pretty decent start to summer with kale, parsley, favas, carrots, two heads of lettuce, kohlrabi and what is probably the last of the spring salad turnips. Thursday’s share should be similar with minor variations in the lettuce types.  The favas take a bit of work to shell (although I hear some folks don’t bother… Continue reading Summer share 1 of 13

Chard, fennel, beets, lettuce, snap peas, turnips, baby carrots and green onions. Final two weeks of spring and the share is a big one. We left the fennel tops on because they can be a nice addition to salads or even cooked greens. These are probably the last of the peas so I’m not sure… Continue reading Sixth Spring Share

We’ve entered the final two weeks of spring and we’ve been very busy in the field. Last week’s B week share had chard, fennel, and snap peas, as well as lettuce, green onions and the last of the radishes and snow peas. For this week’s share expect chard, fennel, snap peas, lettuce, green onions, and… Continue reading Predictions for 6th Spring Share

Choi, green onions, radishes, turnips, peas, kale, collards, green crisp and romaine lettuces. The peas are Oregon Giant snow peas and are great raw just as a sweet snack, and are also good lightly cooked. They are definitely not the typical flat snow peas, or at least not at the point we harvest them. Choi… Continue reading Fifth Spring Share

I’m a bit late posting this and last week’s share was pretty close to the A week share two weeks ago, except there were collards instead of kale and green onions instead of the green garlic, and romaine lettuce instead of green crisp. This week we should continue with the collards, green onions and romaine,… Continue reading Predictions for 5th Spring Share
