summer CSA
July 6th, 2011 by caitlyn
We reached an exciting milestone yesterday! It was the first official day of our Summer CSA. This first week’s boxes included rainbow chard, salad mix, green garlic and large bunches of sweet genovese basil, as well as a broadsheet/poster hand drawn by us with thoughts about farming in the city and the importance of a CSA model. We started our day early and with the help of a couple friends we harvested, sorted, trimmed and packed steadily until the afternoon, finishing just in time for customers to start showing up. We spruced up the farm, harvested some summery flower bouquets and brewed sun tea for everyone to enjoy. It was a treat to see kids running around between rows and to be able to hand out produce yards away from where it had been harvested just hours before.
