Winter Share Week #7, 2023

  • Shallots
  • Green onions
  • Cabbage
  • Chard or kale
  • Winter squash
  • Parsley, watercress or chervil
  • Salad mix
  • Arugula and radish sprouts

We have been working slowly to get the old debris cleared and the soil ready for spring crops. Some of our fall planted crops are finally producing and will grace your tables this week. The small romaine called “Little Gem” is just that, a sturdy, crunchy leaf that somehow survived the flood in greenhouse #2. Salad mix is always a lot of work. Each leaf has to be harvested individually. I will head out shortly to harvest the remaining mustard, spinach and kale leaves to add to your mix. I included a few tender fennel fronds that add an unusual texture and licorice hint. My favorite salad dressing is always a hit or try a citrus flavored one (recipe below)

  Here are some before and after photos:

Notice the canyon on the left side of the photo, some of the lettuces got swept away.
I left them pretty bare, I hope the weather over the next few weeks gets them producing more for a salad mix next month.

It is time to sign-up for the 2023 season. Please do so soon in order for us to reserve your spot. Let friends and family know we are open. We start the regular season on 4/16/23.

Mark your calendars for the Pruning party on February 25th. We had such a blast last year, no experience needed just the desire to learn and have fun. There are plenty of tasks so no need to climb trees or ladders if that is not your cup of tea. Last year our stick gatherers did a phenomenal job and the orchard debris could be chipped in no time the following week.
