Dear Farm Members,

Well here we are, in the 25th and final week of the Winter CSA share. What a roller coaster it’s been. We are so incredibly grateful to all of you for supporting us as a farm, and for believing in the food we grow and the people who grow it! This has certainly been a year like no other, and is only the beginning of what has been shaping up to be our biggest season thus far. Whatever challenges we might meet, it’s certainly bound to be an adventure.

Enjoy your boxes this week, and a happy week 25 to us all!

PEONY FLOWER SHARE: (Provided by Little Boy Flowers

This is the first week of the Peony Flower Share.

Hello flower lovers!! Thanks for signing up for our first peony subscription. I'm so excited that there has been so much interest and support for our little flower farm. About 5 years ago I planted just about 1,000 peony plants and they are now thriving and producing lots of fabulous buds. We have about 10 different varieties that range from early bloomers to late and so we should be able to have a steady stream of flowers for you for the duration of the peony season. I've decided to start the share this coming week so get ready, it's going to be great!

Shares will run for 4 weeks, from May 13/14th - June 2nd/4th. 

Please let us know if you have any questions!!

Warmly, Angie

The Spring Flower Share ended last week. You can sign up for Summer Flower Shares here.
