MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 11/52 of 2021
Dear Farm Members,
This week we’re moving right along - there’s something to do around every corner, and the beehive is buzzing! If you drive by our fields on Birchville Rd., you’ll be able to see this year’s farm beginning to take shape - what currently looks like merely a series of brown rectangles will soon be our very first plantings of peas, radishes, broccoli, kohlrabi, cabbage, lettuce, fennel, onions, and potatoes. Your boxes this week come to you complete with more of the usual late winter/early spring treats - enjoy!

SEASONAL FLOWER SHARES: (provided by Little Boy Flowers)
Early Spring Flower shares will start this week, March 17th/18th! These shares are 8 weeks and feature spring blooms from poppies and anemones to tulips and ranunculus.
Each bouquet is wrapped in brown paper and there are usually 4 bouquets in each plastic bucket at the site. Please only take one bouquet!
For long-lasting blooms, fill a large vase with lukewarm water as soon as you get them home, re-cut the stems, and put them in the vase. Keep your vase clean, and re-cut the flowers often. The more often you re-cut them, the longer they will last. Remember to keep them out of the sun!
Peony shares are also available for four weeks starting mid-May. In these shares, you will receive generous bunches of peonies which will fill your house with their amazing fragrance and long-lasting blooms. Join today!
