So close to summer
The warm sun and rain of late take me back to east coast summers of my youth. Then I open my eyes and see the mountains and smile, glad I'm here, not there. The farm and surrounding valley are unparalleled in beauty right now! While touring the farm with a reporter the other day, we had to stop and sigh and really appreciate the magnificence of the scene...glowing rows of tender young greens, grazing cows, brilliant wildflowers, lush woods, snow capped mountains peeking through misty clouds.... Then back to the office trailer to puzzle over the new CSA packing lists. Our Spring share was fun and delicious. Now we are working the technical aspects of Summer share packing and delivery. While we are a small family farm, there is an amazing amount of high-tech wizardry that goes into ordering, packing and shipping fresh organic produce. This week we are especially aware of that as our friendly farmgeek, Bean Fairbanks is ill in the hospital. We send her our love, and pray for her speedy recovery.
A few strawberries are beginning to ripen, also the snap peas. Look for them soon in your box.
