Corn returns this week along with garlic and radishes among other vegetables. The peaches are starting to fruit and some will be available for you to take home this Wednesday. Summer squash is back once again. Try a little summer squash on the grill with this recipe:
Grilled Sausage with Summer Squash
Ingredients:
1-1/2 lb. summer squash, cut [...]

Corn is finally here at this Wednesday's CSA. America's number one field crop is always a hit at the dinner table. Corn on the cob is a summertime classic but if you've had one too may barbecues lately then I suggest trying out this recipe:
Corn Chowder
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 ribs celery, diced
1/2 medium yellow onion, [...]

Beets—love 'em or hate 'em—will be available alongside several other great vegetables at this week's CSA. Beets have a bit of a bad reputation around these parts: a reputation not wholly justified. So if you grew up eating (and hating) canned pickled beets then pick up some fresh beets this week and give them a [...]

Blueberries are sure to be a big hit this Wednesday. We have enough for everybody this week and I know I am excited. No other fruit can fit so well into so many different foods. I usually like to eat them raw, but with the summer heat I decided to find a recipe that was [...]

 
I hope that you are all enjoying your fruits and vegetables from yesterday's CSA pickup. I would like to take this blog post to clear up a few things about yesterday. There was some confusion among our staff on the matter of checking in; you are not required to show photo ID or your CSA [...]

The When
CSA pickup will be from 4:00pm to 7:00pm on Wednesday June 23rd and every Wednesday for the remaining seventeen weeks CSA members and any [...]

The color green is out in full force today as the crops continue growing. The time for harvesting is coming ever nearer.

Next Wednesday is the first CSA pickup. CSA members get to pick up fresh vegetables from our garden every week.

If you have not yet signed up for CSA then it is not too late [...]

There are five little pigletts on the farm and they like to get into everything. The friendly little pigletts like nothing more than for somebody to visit them. Remember, two of them are still available under the CSA Livestock Program.

You might have heard already, but there’s a newcomer on the farm. She goes by the name of Florence—Flo for short—and spends most of her time out at pasture. In case the punny name didn’t tip you off, Flo is a cow, not just any cow either, a Jersey Cow. You know what that means: [...]
