Crop Talk, January 30, 2017  

Dear 2017 CSA Members,

   Greetings from the chilly Blue Ridge. We had a dusting of snow out here last night, and tonight the temperature is supposed to drop into the mid-twenties, but the first spring lettuce is already sprouting in the green house, and we're gearing up for another great CSA season.

A couple of dates to remember:

Opening day is April 1.

Members' Open House is April 22.

CSA starts June 6.

   If you've ever wondered how to make the most of your CSA share, take a look at our recent blog post on that subject -- and check next week for suggestions on organizing a group site.

   We're in the office most days until 4:00, so give us a call if you have any questions.

   See you all soon!   


Tasting Room Renovation

   The tasting room at our sister property Bluemont Vineyard  got even prettier in January, with a bright new color scheme and several architectural upgrades. Come on out to enjoy the space and the view -- and take advantage of the 10% CSA discount on wine purchases.

   We're now serving brunch every Sunday from 11:00 to 2:00, and we're offering a delicious cupcake-and-wine pairing for Valentine's Day weekend.
