What’s at Market? Week of April 12th

April 13th, 2010 Posted in General Randomness | No Comments »

The rain continues but we have been sneaking into the fields between rain storms and getting food in the ground. Grow food grow. This week we have our first Rhubarb of the season as well as the first Rainbow Chard. The Chard is velvety smooth and tastes fantastic. Hope you all can make it out to the market in the weather to come get some.

A few quick notes:

Our internet service has been hit and miss for the past few weeks. But now it's back. So sorry for any lack of communications and email list add ons for new members. We're getting caught up as we speak.

This is the last week to get the best discount on our Farm Bucks CSA. Even if you or a friend get the sign up to us by the end of this week (Saturday the 17th) we'll still honor the discount. We're trying to give a "It's tax week, I've got a zillion other things on my mind" benefit of the doubt.

We're looking at having a barn painting party/potluck at the end of May. Our new barn addition needs a nice coat of paint and thought it'd be fun to have everyone out. Maybe May 30th? Any input?

And finally, if you're not following us on Facebook and would like to, just click the link to our Farm Fan Page here.

Have a great week and see you at market!

Oh are we ready for the rain to stop. Seeds are in the ground in the field braving the storms but we need to plant more. The sun will shine again we're sure of it. We love the rain but need a 3 day break. That would be helpful. A farmer can dream.

But we still have plenty of food for you our fearless eaters.

This week at market:

Salad Mix
Spinach
Baby Bok Choy
Tat Soi
Dinosaur Kale
White Russian Kale
Red Russian Kale
Spring Florets
Red Onions
Yellow Onions
The last of the Carrots for a while.

Next week: Rainbow Chard!

See you at market!

The rain looks as if it will continue on Tuesday for Ashland. As always, we will be there with plenty of fresh food, straight out of the fields and greenhouses.

We'll be starting Grants Pass this weekend. It will be great to get back and see all of our friends from that part of the valley.

We're really excited about the spinach we're bringing this week. First cutting and thick, lush leaves. Spring spinach can't be beat.

Hope to see you all there at market- either in Ashland or Grants Pass.

Here's the list of what we'll have:

Salad Mix
Spinach
Tatsoi bunches
Baby Bok Choy
Mustard Greens
White Russian Kale Bunches
Red Russian Kale,Green Kale,Collards – Loose
Overwintered Carrots
Yellow and Red Onions
Shallots
Leeks
Parsnips
Spring Florets (broccoli like tops)- awesome for stir frys.

Next week Dinosaur Kale is on it's way!

See you at Market

Just getting this new posting system figured out. Here's the post without the pictures. Sorry for the double email

This is the weather we've been looking for- great growing weather! Everything we have out in the field right now is taking off! Last week was a nice first market, albeit a bit windy, but no rain. Seems that market this week should be even nicer.

We're excited to have some baby bok choy this early in the growing season. Hope you enjoy it too! Here's a link for a simple side dish recipe using baby bok. We made it the other night and really enjoyed how quick yet tasty it was. Give it a try.

This weeks list of market produce:

Salad Mix
White Russian Kale
Red Russian Kale
Winterbor Kale
Leeks
Overwintered Carrots
Parsnips
Yellow and Red Onions
Shallots
Baby Bok Choy
Arugula
Mizuna- In the same family as Arugula but milder
Red Mustard
A tiny bit o' Spring Florets

We still have "Market Buck" shares available in our CSA. If you're already signed up with us pass the info along to your family and friends. Info on the CSA can be found here on our website.
It really is a great way to save yourself some money while shopping at market as well as giving us some upfront capital to get the season going. A win win situation.

Spinach, Chard, and Bunched Kales, and Rhubarb are on their way soon.

Have a great week!
