Hello! We had a great week here at the farm! After a week of the stomach bug, and tons of rain 2 weeks ago, we have pretty much fully recovered and the gardens are back in order. In fact we found some produce out there so we have some available for you! This time of the year is very exciting when it comes to crops, speaking specifically of tomatoes and corn. We have all had are first tomato of the year, and it was GOOD! The corn is starting to form ears and the potatoes are about ready to start digging! The squash is doing amazing and the weeds are under control! Life is good! We hope to have some more turkeys ordered soon as well, and we are very anxious to try the turkeys we currently have, soon! The farm has changed a little this past week, well, it actually got a little smaller so to speak. All of the animals, such as the goat, sheep, and horses are now happily in somebody else's pasture getting all the attention they need and deserve. It was a little sad, but it went well, and we plan on using the area where they were for turkeys and fruit trees! This is like a dream for us, we love it! The drop off for this week will be the same place, same time. Here is a list of what we have available for 6-15:
Green Beans - $2.00/lb. (Provider, bush bean, string less and yummy!)
Red Potomac New Potatoes - $2.00/lb.
Kenebec White New Potatoes - $2.00/lb
Lettuce - $2/Head
Squash - $1.50/lb. (Yellow Zephyr, Sunburst Patty Pan, Yellow/Green Zucchini)
Cucumbers - $1.50/lb (Slicing, Pickling)
Purslane - $3.00/bag
Pea Shoots - $3.00/bag
White Onions - $1.00/bulb (full size)
Green Onions - $3.00
Turnips - $1.50/lb.

All CSA boxes should have some beets, Swiss chard, herbs, sunflowers as well as what is listed above! Our next batch of chickens will be processed sometime around June 28th or July 5th. We might have a few turkeys around that time or very shortly afterwards. These are gong to go fast, so please let us know if you would like to reserve yours now (no money) so we can put your name on the "I want a chicken because its so good and maybe even a turkey!" list. Thanks for your patience as I stutter through this and have a good week! Dale & Cory
