MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 16/52 of 2022
Dear CSA Members,
As spring-like temperatures return to the foothills, we begin to race the weeds that have flourished during the recent rains. As we peel back our row covering and reveal happy weeds and happier crops, we break out our many tools for cultivation and get to work. A busy week ahead for all of us.
A scattering of Mountain Bounty Farm produce is making its debut in the CSA shares this week. Throughout the winter, we partner with other regional farms to help supply the bounty for our year-round vegetable CSA. Come spring, our crops are ready to be harvested and eventually the box will be exclusively Mountain Bounty Farm produce through the end of the summer. This week we have cilantro, salad turnips, red russian kale, and lettuce. A few of these crops were unprotected while we experienced some unexpected hail storms and may have more damage than usual. Don't worry, they’ll still taste the same!
We have an exciting new partnership with Frog Hollow Farm in Brentwood, CA who are going to provide our Summer Fruit Share! These shares are 7# of mostly stone fruit, including peaches, nectarines, cherries, apricots, plums, pluots, persimmons, quince, apples. Join today for shares starting the first week of June.
As a reminder, our delivery day in Western Nevada County changes to Tuesdays starting May 17th for all shares. Pick up times and CSA sites remain the same.
Enjoy your shares this week,
Grace
