Happy First Day of Spring! The winter season has to come to an end sometime, even if we don’t see any signs of it yet. Well, the power of the sun is returning so we do see a little bit of hope that this snow will leave us and the soil will once again warm for planting. Let’s hope this moisture has a chance to soak into the ground and help restock us for another growing season.
I hope everyone is signed up who wanted to be for the upcoming 2013 CSA seasons. We are sold out of spring, summer, and year-round shares. We have less than 5 spots left for the fall and winter shares if anyone wants to reserve their spot for those seasons. We do allow monthly payments if that helps anyone budget paying off those fall/winter shares that are in the future. However, you need to sign up for those seasonal shares now before they are all claimed.
Thanks again for eating your way through the winter season with me. It’s been a great winter of warming soups and hearty dishes. This is the last delivery of the winter CSA. No deliveries occur in the month of April and our spring shares begin the first week of May. *Please send the memo on to Mother Nature!
Happy Cooking!
Your Farmer,
Heather
