W25 (W5): Peek Into our Seed House
Dear Farm Community -
OOooohhh we did it again! Our SECOND new high tunnel is all bedded up and planted out. Last week we were able to get 6 beds of lettuce planted and one bed of bok choy in the new tunnel! We’ve got tons of our crop successions rolling and set up for a steady stream of delicious spring produce (and we’re even thinking about summer already). Our seed houses are also packed to the gills with little plant babies and seeds in trays beginning their germination journey (germ-ney??). This week we’d love to give you a sneak peek of a few of the little ones we’ve got growing!
This blog post would be a mile long if we listed everything we’ve got in the works - hopefully this sweet little peek into the future has you excited for all thats to come :) If you're aiming to hop on board with our CSA in the springtime, our Three Season (veggie and flower) and Spring Season shares (veggie and flower) are still available! Weekly-pay is always open, so join us anytime. Check out all of the options on our webstore:
To all y’all on the CSA bandwagon already ~ Your CSA shares this week include double carrots!!! Try out some fresh carrot recipes like this super fancy one for crushed carrots with feta, black barley and preserved lemon or a little appetizer like this roasted spiced carrot dip. You can find the nigella seeds you need for that recipe at Achachi International Market on Milledge Ave - a wonderful resource for all those hard-to-find international ingredients! For dessert how about a spiced carrot cake with ricotta icing?
Hoping that your culinary horizons expand in new and delightful ways with each week of CSA!
We know you’ve come to love reading about our farmers every week - we’ve enjoyed sharing just as much! Unfortunately last week we were so busy wrist-deep in dirt out in the fields, we couldn’t wrangle a farmer to chat! We’ll be back with Know Your Farmer next week ;) In the meantime, if you or someone you know is interested in joining our team, we have two positions available for the springtime! Head to our instagram to read more about the positions and how to apply.
Happy Eating!
