We took some time today to head over to the Oxbow, a 4 acre piece of land we lease. Typically we grow crops that don’t need as much attention over at the Oxbow: Onions, Winter Squash, Garlic, Potatoes, Beets, Carrots,

and Pumpkins. Due primarily to pests we have put the puzzle pieces together differently for this season and have onions and potatoes growing at the farm while the brassicas (Kale, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Cabbage, and Broccolini) are over at the Oxbow. In the next few weeks we will fill the oxbow with pumpkins and winter squash, beets and carrots, and some successions of Greens.

While discussing the week ahead we checked out the garlic, looked at the brassicas and planted some dahlias that didn’t fit over at the main farm. Tomorrow we will lay down some mulch and irrigation and then plant all the winter squash and pumpkins. Excited to get this last large planting in the ground.

Thank you all for your support as Spring CSA Members!

This is the final pickup.

The summer CSA begins next week and we still have a few spots available.

PICKUP IS FROM 3:00 - 6:00

Jaime will be present to help!


Spring Onions

We grow a yellow storage onion called Patterson, Redwing a red storage onion, and Ring master a delicious sweet onion, wonderful as a spring onion or right after harvest. Ring master onions have a short storage life, and are best eaten when the greens are still standing straight up. These are excellent in any dish or even grilled/roasted on their own.
