CSA Week 4, July 15

Two sisters were taking trips this weekend, so we were a little short staffed today. From start of picking to end of bagging took 5 hours! Can anyone say NAP! :-)

A few things to note for this weeks pick up:

First, you have more than one bag. We did not want to squish your greens, so they are bagged in a paper bag along side your normal bag. Only a couple of the paper bags fit inside the other bags - you will figure it out in case someone is not here. Mom plans to be here at 5 - I should be back 5:30, so try not to be an early bird this week unless you've already arranged it ahead of time.

Second, please remember to bring back last weeks bag. There is a spot to the left of the barn, you will see others hanging there (and probably some gas cans down below). Just drop them in that spot.

Third, any containers or glass jars can go in the black crate on the table right next to the fridge.

Fourth, no bonus item this week - the produce is bonus enough from here on out HEHE If you loved something you've tried, check the farm stand - some of the things like yogurt, goat cheese, and jam we sell on a regular basis. There's also treats in there that are great for the weekend - having a bbq, no need to make dessert - grab a couple refreshing lemon bars from our stand, (probably cut them smaller HEHE), top with some fresh raspberries, and a sprig of mint. Something like this:

Speaking of mint, there is a bucket of mint on the table to the right when you first walk in the barn. Take what you would like for whatever you would like. We didn't have time to bag it up.

Onto this weeks haul.



This week we have the last of our first spinach crop. We pulled the whole plants and gave the job of picking the leaves off to a couple of the kids.



Okay, so baby Cash just watched, but I think just from being near that much spinach he will grow big strong arm muscles.
