MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS
Week 22/52 of 2022
Dear CSA Members,
June! It's (almost) here! June is a wonderfully insane time at the farm. Plants seem to double in size overnight, and with them the weeds that also enjoy regular irrigation and nutritious soil. June keeps us busy and humbled. Speaking of things that seem to grow overnight, we’ll begin to harvest the first of our highly anticipated sugar snap peas this week. We've grown and trellised a lovely planting of climbing peas, which have astounded us each week with their immense volume, stretching tendrils, and teeny, dainty flowers. Over the next couple weeks, as you snack away on the snap peas in your vegetable boxes, remember that they are carefully and lovingly grown, and picked entirely by hand! Truly a labor of love from our farmers, to all of you.
Enjoy your shares this week,
Grace

SUMMER FRUIT SHARES (provided by Frog Hollow Farm)
Starts this week, Tuesday, May 31st!
We're so excited to partner with Frog Hollow Farm for the Summer Fruit Share starting this week. For the shares this week, they've partnered with other organic farms to help supply the bounty. Moving forward, all fruit in the Summer Fruit Share will be from Frog Hollow Farm.
Robada Apricots - Frog Hollow Farm (A large and robust apricot, the Robada has a particularly vibrant blush that makes the fruit seem to glow on the branch, almost like tiny Japanese lanterns lit from within.)
Crimson Lady Peaches - Frog Hollow Farm (The Crimson Lady is one of the first varieties off the tree. It has a firm texture that is more springy than meltingly juicy. When dried it is uniquely chewy and delicious.)
Pixie Tangerines - Churchill Orchards (A California favorite, these sweet, seedless tangerines have a thick skin and juicy flesh that makes them excellent for eating out of hand.)
Hass Avocados - Churchill Orchards (With a rich creamy texture, nutty flavor, and a small to medium seed, it's no surprise that the Hass avocado is the most popular variety grown in California. The skin is easy to peel and darkens from green to purplish-black as it ripens.)
Blueberries- Triple Delight (These blueberries are hand-picked one berry at a time at their optimal ripeness. Triple Delight takes pride in the quality and freshness of their blueberries...but their incredible taste is what makes them stand out above the rest!)
SUMMER FLOWER SHARES are available now and you can join here.
