Hi Everyone,
CSA share pickups are from 2:30-5:30 Saturdays at Genesis of Ann Arbor (Temple Beth Emeth/St. Clare’s Episcopal Church) 2309 Packard St. Ann Arbor. 30 week and 26 week shares continue. The 20 week shares begin in 1 week, on May 29th.
This week’s small box shares contain the following items – cooking tips will be in another post titled “Cooking Tips — May 21, 2021.”
· Red Scallions (1 bunch) – from our farm
· Fresh Chives with Blossoms (1 bunch) – from our farm
· Snow Pea Shoots (1 pkg) – from Gardenworks of Ann Arbor
· Cilantro (1 bunch) from Cinzori Farms of Ceresco
· Red Spinach (1 bag) – from Cinzori Farms of Ceresco
· Curly Green Kale Greens (1 bunch) – from Cinzori Farms of Ceresco
· Asparagus (1 bunch) – from Cinzori Farms of Ceresco
Medium boxes contain an extra bunch of red scallions, extra bunch of chives, and extra bunch of kale.
Looking ahead – we will have green onions and peppermint from our farm next week, an abundance of asparagus next week, and broccoli in a few weeks from Cinzori farms; with more and more variety as the season progresses. We planted rosemary, echinacea, and 6 kinds of basil this week.
It seems that we are past the freezes and into super-hot weather immediately, the seasonal shift will really get the veggies and herbs moving along. This season so far would be characterized as extreme drought, we are irrigating daily and doing all we can to keep the plants happy. If you have taken any walks by creeks or rivers lately, the low levels certainly speak to the seriousness of this drought. We are thankful for the resilience of our well, as the well we irrigate with is the same well we get all of the water for our house from.
Warm Regards,
Adam and the Country Valley Farm Team
