CSA Week 2!

 
 

Flowers like these calendulas are coming along nicely despite the unseasonably cool nights.
Tania will have lots of gorgeous bouquets for sale this Thursday and Saturday on the farm.
Also plenty of flowers this Sunday at the Logan Square Farmer's Market




Our hardworking crew harvests arugula from under 'row cover'.
This physical barrier protects certain crops from certain pests.
It is also helpful in keeping the covered crop just a bit warmer and moister, therefore
shaving off a few days from the calendar and giving us mature vegetables a few days sooner.
 
 
 
 

This is a FULL SHARES week...Full Vegetable & Fruit Shares!

Pick up is Thursday, June 20th.
4-7 pm at your respective site.
