Summer CSA Starts This Week + Double Rainbow! 🌈🌈

Hello Farm Friends,

Our Summer CSA starts tomorrow and we have so many beautiful veggies for you!

If you are new to the CSA here are a few details you might like to know:

CSA PICK-UP DETAILS
Farm Pick-up time is Tuesday June 16th anytime between 4pm and 7pm or Friday June 19th between 4pm and 7pm, for this week both pick-ups will be at 251 Anderson Island Rd. [Directions in Google Maps, in Apple Maps] If you can’t make it, please arrange an alternative time with me. Email or text is best because I never have my phone on me in the field. My number is 647-928-5253. Unless you have specified Friday pick-up, we will harvest your veggies on Tuesday!

The CSA set-up is market style so please don’t forget to bring bags or a cooler to carry your vegetables home in. Greens and other loose items will usually be bagged or bunched or divided into pint containers to make everything a little quicker and easier. As always, I recommend washing everything before eating it. Although nothing is sprayed, it did come straight from the field, and although we use water to cool things down nothing is triple-washed like the ready-to-eat greens you find in the grocery store. A little garden dirt can be expected now and again.

I will be near the table to explain everything to new members, so don’t worry if you are unsure!

We’ll continue with our circular driveway technique to help keep traffic going in one direction.

Looking forward to seeing you all, and meeting some new folks too.

Not signed up yet? You still can, but you better hurry!

In the meantime at the farm, thanks to the wild storm that blew through here over the weekend we’ve gone from wilting in the heat on Friday, to bundling up in our extra layers this morning!

If you live in the area I hope you were lucky enough to see the magnificent rainbow that formed as the rain tapered off. I know it won’t do it justice but we tried to take some photos. If I believed in ancient gods I would have been wondering what they were up to, thunder and lighting on one side and and the most peaceful sky on the other.

Thor or Zeus may not have been involved but the rainbow did seem perfectly timed to say Happy Pride to anyone celebrating this month. Love is love, our vegetables don’t discriminate and neither do we.

Sincerely,
— Jenny
