Tracie’s CSA
By: Tracie
As well as organizing deliveries, making the packing area more efficient, harvesting, washing and bagging, last week was filled with weeding, planting the 4th seeding of mesclun, 2nd planting of basil, 4th planting of carrots, and 2nd seeding of summer squash, zucchini and cucumbers, planting sweet potatoes, staking tomato plants, trellising pole beans, spreading mulch and mowing.
There’s a lot that goes into growing and delivering these delicious healthy vegetables. Working shares are a vital piece in getting the farm work done. This year 15% of members are working in exchange for their share. 32 members come out once each week and help with all the aspects of getting this food to your door, from planting, to mulching, weeding, harvesting, washing, bagging, packing to delivering.
It takes a lot of work to get this food to your door and we couldn’t do it all without many hands helping out.
Last week I had snap peas on the list-sorry about that, it was a mistake, they are flowering and should be ready next week.
-Mesclun, Lettuce, Radishes, Spinach, Chinese Cabbage
-Herbs-Basil, Mint, Lemon Balm Rosemary, Savory, Cilantro or Parsley call or email for specific requests

-Jam: Bee Tree Farm in Chesterfield 363-4631 or Barbara Fraser in Nelson 847-9555.
