NO FARM STAND THIS YEAR

I decided to concentrate on the CSA this year. However, if you need something from the garden, give me a call or email and if I have what you need, I would be happy to pick it for you and you can pick it up at the farm. It's best for the vegetables if they are picked in the cool of the morning so be sure to contact me the day before. (No phone calls after 9 PM please.)

There should be lots of mesclun, head lettuce, beans, beets, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, kale, Swiss chard and arugula available as the season progresses. I am happy to share what I have.

FARM STAND CLOSES for 2008

Well that's all, folks. The garden is slowing down and my priority is to make sure the CSA members have lots of fresh eating so the stand is closed for the season.

AND I have decided to skip the Farm Stand next year and focus on the CSA. New next year will be a MINI-SHARE, just 2 items each week for smaller households and busy folks who still want a little bit of fresh local produce in their lives.

For more information on the CSA you may email me (laurat-at-crocker-dot-com) or check the CSA part of the blog. I expect to post information about 2009 in January or February. Right now you can see posts that describe the weekly shares.

Thanks for supporting the farm stand. It's been fun to share the bounty with you.

TODAY'S PICKINGS - SEPTEMBER 20, 2008

LAST WEEKEND!

This weekend is the last one the stand will be open. It’s been a fun season, although sales at the stand have been rather low. The farm stand will NOT be open in 2009. Instead, you might enjoy a “MINI SHARE” - just 2 fresh vegetables each week to enliven your eating.

For more infomation, email me at laurat-at-crocker-dot-com

Thanks for your support!
I am home all day Saturday. I am happy to pick you some fresh greens.

Sorry about being closed yesterday.
I was ill. Thanks for your understanding.

*I am posting this late just as a record of the stand. Thanks to those who came by both Saturday and Sunday. I guess one thing about being a one person operation is that occasionally illness will bring the whole operation to a halt. On the other hand, being small means being more human and personal in other ways too. I got several cheering wishes for recovery when I wrote to let folks know I couldn't stock the stand on Saturday. Thanks, friends.

TODAY'S PICKINGS - AUGUST 29, 2008

Hello friends,

The harvest is in full swing here today. Karen and I are still working on the delivery and it's already 2:00! There's just a lot to pick. Later on I will post a picture of today's share at the blog so you can see a typical full share.

I should be home all of Saturday and part of Sunday if you stop by. There are greens in the garden, just ask.

Happy harvest time,
Laura

I'll be home all day Saturday and most of the day on Sunday, if you need something extra or want a tour of the garden or just want to gab-gardens. Tomorrow is the start of my August 'farm week' where I get to be home all week playing in the garden. I love it!
My main goal at the moment is to increase my garden space so the farm can offer more CSA shares in 2009.
