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

Pretty much as predicted: lettuce, green garlic, radishes, choi, red mustard, salad turnips and kale. This was the last of the green garlic so we’ll probably have green onions again in its place. We might have a different lettuce variety and collards instead of kale. The green garlic is the same plant that makes garlic… Continue reading 4th Spring CSA Share

Yesterday’s 3rd spring share for the B week is a predictor of the 4th share for the A week, with the first of the salad turnips and kale. We should also have more lettuce and the last of the first round of radishes, as well as red mustard greens, more choi, and green garlic for… Continue reading Predictions for 4th Spring Share

Mustard greens, lettuce, radishes, choi, green garlic and arugula. The first little lettuces of the season, a small romaine and a small red leaf. The garlic is something we haven’t grown on the farm for years since rust became a problem, but at this stage when it’s still young rust isn’t a problem yet. If… Continue reading 3rd Spring Share

Spring seems to be flying by and we’re at week 3 already (which is really week 5 since we’re on an every other week schedule). Last week’s B share got the first of the radishes and choi, which as it’s prone to do was starting to bolt. Week 3 will see more radishes and choi,… Continue reading Predictions for 3rd spring share

Green onions, kale and collard raab, mizuna and arugula. With more of the over wintered crops done, and the spring planted crops really just getting going it’s a small share today. The you pick herbs are looking great right now, especially the chives and loveage, and we’ve had good harvests of rhubarb on the farm… Continue reading 2nd Spring Share

This is an especially tricky one to predict and I wouldn’t be surprised if the A and B week shares end up being a bit different. After the big opener last week it will also likely be a slightly smaller share this coming week. Green onions, arugula and mizuna are looking like strong possibilities. Radishes,… Continue reading Predictions for 2nd Spring Share

Our spring A schedule folks picked up tonight and here’s what was in the shares: leeks, collard raab, fava tips, mache, carrots, kale raab and sorrel. Lots of spring time greens together with the last of the winter carrots and leeks. Next week’s share should be similar but everything is growing fast so we’ll see… Continue reading First Spring Share
