CSA baskets and other farm news


This week's baskets include:
Fruit-bananas, apples, oranges, strawberries, avocados
California-yams, mesclun, avocados, cucumbers, broccoli,
Vermont Roots-leek, mesclun, carrots, onions, garlic, yams
Mixed-has all the vegetables.
Yesterday we went to Flavors of the Valley sampling andouille sausage from the farm raised steers. We gave out 800 samples of grilled sausage. Justin, Carin, Sarah and Chris made progress on the greenhouse project. Stephen and the fjords disced and harrowed ground for our grain trails and worked up a large area of the market garden. Above is a photo of the 100 year old plow the horses pull to turn under cover crops in the market garden. Through the Amish we can still buy parts for the plow.
