MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 15/52 of 2022
Dear CSA Members,
As we harvested the spinach and bok choi for the CSA boxes this week, we experienced rain, strong winds, some snow and even some brief hail. We then spent the afternoon covering most of our fields with remay (fabric row cover), in hopes that our many beds of spring crops would survive the overnight lows. While this weather feels a bit like whiplash after the warm spring days of last week, we are extremely grateful for any and all rain in the forecast. Farming is all weather work and we want to express a deep appreciation for our hard working crew who powered through the elements to harvest and protect our crops. As all of these crops eventually make their way into the CSA boxes, remember that in their early lives some loving farmers covered them up and tucked them in so that we all could enjoy their bountiful harvest in the future.
Enjoy your shares this week,
Grace
