The sun rose high over the valley today, 
A beacon of hope for this rainy late-May.
My heart has blossomed anew for what’s to come,
For today is the day of my CSA!

What’s in store this week you may wonder…
Well, they’re leafy, hearty, and some come from down under.
Verdant frills and ruby jewels,
all a sneak peak at what’s to come this summer. 

First to come are stalks of green and bulbs of white.
Freshly washed they sparkle in the light.
Stem, leaf, and bulb can all be enjoyed;
our green garlic is quite the delight!

The next of our harvest to fill your bowl, 
Is leafy and green and tolerant of the cold.
These stalks are buttery, crunchy, and packed with nutrients;
Our leafy greens and hearty spinach will never grow old!

Another of our finest vegetables in play
Is actually a root whose tops give them away
These hearty root vegetables grow underground,
And you’ll find that our carrots are a great snack any day!

The last of our crops to fill your table
Is one you might want to savor if you’re able
Juicy sweet and picked with care;
Our satisfying strawberries are a Red Dog staple!

What to do with these freshly harvested treasures?
Soups, salads, alone, or together?
No matter how you slice it, 
Local produce just tastes better.
