“To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.”
~ Oscar Wilde

  • collard greens, asparagus – half shares only

Farmer notes:

  • cthis is by far the driest May/June in my 20 years of farming – we have gotten just shy of 1/2″ since May 14th
  • cour crops in the field look surprising good at this point, but we cannot irrigate our entire fields per need indefinitely
  • cthis season look for a bit less variety than other years and with certain crops being smaller in size
  • clook for summer squash, zucchini, scallions, parsley and brassicas soon in your boxes
  • cscapes are the bloom of the garlic and can be used like a scallion sauteed in about anything
  • cmint is wonderful to flavor your water/mixed drink, in a salad, or to flavor a dressing
  • cdry beans are last year’s crop and are kidney or pinto
  • cyou can always perk up your greens by soaking them in very cold water
  • cwash your crops before you eat them and please return our boxes and ice packs each week
  • cenjoy your fresh produce and have a safe and fun 4th holiday
