We are trying desperately to find enough produce to keep the CSA members happy.  Last week was the start of a few rough weeks  where not enough got planted in the Spring (because of the rain).  So I'm sorry to keep making excuses but this is the reality of farming.  I am hoping to make it all up to you as the season progresses.  That is why you are receiving plants in your share , when you never had before, and why you are getting sunflower and pea shoots every week!   I hope you are enjoying them! Two of our close neighbors also have CSA's in the city and one cancelled altogether the first 2 pick ups and the other cancelled the first 3!  We decided NOT to do that in favor of trying to give you SOMETHING even if it is a small amount.

Honestly, I'm quite impressed with what we DO have, and it does help me to savor my food more!

Enjoy!
