Greetings!

Welcome to week 9 of our 2018 Summer CSA Program!


Pick up is at Woodbury Floral Designs-
15 Hollow Rd., Woodbury CT. Pick up time is 1:00pm-6:00pm on Tuesday. If you can not make it in time to pick up, please notify us at 203.266.9149 so we can make other arrangements.
ALL baskets not picked up on your pick up day will be donated to the Woodbury Food Bank.


PLEASE bring back the empty basket from last week in exchange for another full one. We are trying to keep a closer eye on the baskets this year as the expense of them really adds up.

If there is anything in your basket you or your family doesn't eat, we do offer a swap table where you can exchange 1 item for another- if it is in the swap table.

We like to thank all our members by offering a 10% discount on anything in the shop! Whether it's more produce, our farm raised meat, sauce, syrup, spices, or flowers and gifts- it's our way of showing you our appreciation for your patronage.


Fall/Winter CSA is OPEN
It may be summer still, but we are deep into the planning stages of the Fall/Winter CSA program. Enjoying the summer session? Then let our family feed yours for the rest of the year!
Our fall/winter program begins immediately after the summer program ends.

Your support of our program is allowing our family to do BIG things this year. I can't quite tell you what that it yet... but it will be a game changer for our family farm and our community.

Farm Fresh News
Ok, Mother Nature! You can stop now!

Rain.

It's something I feel like we always complain about- we need more, we need less, whatever the situation may be.

Well... we have definitely have had enough, and the fields are starting to show it. Between root rot and soil erosion, too much rain also leaches away valuable nutrients that are in the soil and can make any bacterial and fungal bourne diseases spread like wildfire. Let's hope we get a little dry spell over the next week to start clearing up some of our concerns.

Care for this weeks ingredients:


Squash, Peppers and Eggplant: Store in fridge- best if used within 3 days, will last 5-7 days in crisper.

Tomatoes: DO NOT REFRIGERATE. If you would like them riper, simply leave them on a windowsill, otherwise leave them on your kitchen counter. Will last up to a week, depending on ripeness.

Black Kale (Tuscan Kale): Wash or at least rinse upon returning home. Wrap in dish towel and store in the fridge. Best if used with in 3 days.
