CSA Pickup Approaches!

Hello All,
Welcome to Greenhill Collective Farm's Summer CSA Subscription. Thank you again for supporting our Certified Organic Small Family Farm! As June 17th approaches I just wanted to touchbase with everyone through this blog and remind folks to keep checking back for updates, reminders, as well as pictures and recipes all summer. I hope to be able to assist with any questions our members may have about the CSA, crops being grown and what you can expect this season from the farm. I am so excited to work with all of you this summer and hopefully many more summers to come. The addition of the CSA this year is a big step up for us here at the farm but I think its going to be an important change to our operation.

New crops have been going in the ground every day/week and the pressure is on to get the ALL in. The next month is going to be filled with a lot of hard work, bug bites, and dirty hands because it is planting crunch time. But in 3 weeks the first week of pickups starts and you will be enjoying the fruits of our labor! For the first few weeks of pickup you will be recieving some of the following;

-head lettuce
-salad greens/mix
-arugula
-flatbread pizza (baked fresh on the farm in our woodfired clay oven!)
-mushrooms (shiitake - this is dependent on rain patterns and humidity between now and then)
-radish
-culinary herbs (mint, cilantro, oregano, lemon balm)
-garlic scapes

Some of you have probably cooked/eaten most of these items, but I will be posting a few recipes for the more unfamiliar items so everyone can get acquainted with them.

Well that is it for now...please let me know if you have any questions....those can be sent directly to my email at benjidob@gmail.com. Check back next week for recipe ideas and other photos and updates. Thanks!
Ben
