CSA Newsletter Week 14/52 (April 6/7)

MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 14/52 of 2022

Dear CSA Members,

This week we welcome four new crew members to the Mountain Bounty team! These first-year farmers join us from all over the country and bring fresh energy and spirit to our crew. They have a variety of backgrounds and experiences which lead to a rich experience of mutual learning between student and teacher. Over the next several months, we'll teach them everything we know about growing food and the many aspects of care that go into what becomes your CSA share. We'll learn what aspects of work appeal to them and help guide them along their journey to becoming farmers and food system advocates. The start of the first-year farmer programs is the unofficial start of our "season" and we're so lucky to have these new farmers with us as we tackle another week of transplanting, seeding, weeding, and harvesting. Let the fun begin!

Enjoy your shares this week,

Grace
