A Heartfelt Welcome!

Welcome to our 2025 CSA program! We are so happy for you to join us for another season of healthy, vibrant produce straight from our fields. I know that finances are hard these days, and your commitment to signing up for our CSA says a lot about how you value the opportunity to support your health and the vibrancy of farms in our community. Thank you!

We really ramped up our early season greenhouse game this year, and I am so pleased at the spring greens lineup we have for you! Arugula, salad mix, spinach, cilantro, mizuna, bok choi, and more will be offering some tender spring yumminess to your palate in these coming weeks.

Tulips will be making an appearance in your share next week. We just started harvesting and don’t have quite enough for shares this week. Lucky for you, they ripen exponentially from day-to-day, so you will have gorgeous tulips on your table in just one week, and for many weeks to come.

2025 brings some changes on the farm, particularly we are currently constructing our new farmstand! We are so excited as the plan to replace the old farmstand has been in the works for years. Progress is slow but steady as my husband Andy (who works as a Lieutenant/Firefighter/EMT for East Jefferson Fire Rescue) plugs away at it when he has time. Lucky for us, Andy is an experienced contractor and carpenter so we are getting a solidly built farmstand this time around! We are anticipating opening the new farmstand in early June, in the meantime the old farmstand continues to be open for business.

Another change this season is that we dropped a five-acre lease at the end of last season, and are once again on the “home farm” of 23 acres (17 acres of production fields). This transition has been an exercise in dialing in planting schedules, scheduling staff to prioritize weeding, and eliminating some plantings that weren’t paying their way. All to make sure we are maximizing our efforts as our land base has reduced. There has been an ease to the spring to have a little less land to care for, which has been a welcome change!

On your end, you can expect the same high quality and variety of produce as ever coming in your shares each week. We truly love growing for you and are extremely thankful you have joined us this season. May you eat well and be well!
