June 28 & June 30
Hi Folks!
This is the final Spring Share of 2023.
Thank you for all the support! And remember if you want to keep receiving the bounty from white barn farm for the summer sign up this week. We will be closing Share Add Ons and Summer Shares on July 4th.
We are managing the summer crops well. You will get your first taste of summer crop Cucumbers today!
The greenhouse crops are doing well and Tomatoes are looking wonderful!!
Spread the word among your friends how awesome White Barn Farm is and finally do not forget our first ever Beer Garden coming this Thursday!
Oh by the way, check out the first bouquets of the Flower Share this week while you are picking up your veggies. If you are blown away by the Flower Share and still want to get your hands on it, it's not too late at all to sign up.
The Summer Share runs for 13 weeks from July 5th - September 29th. Same pick up times are available Wednesday or Friday between 10 and 6. Traveling? Gift that week to a friend or neighbor. Just give them the pick up details and they can pick up in your place. What can you expect in the Summer Share? It may contain tender salad greens, cooking greens, bok choy, Napa cabbage, cilantro, radishes, salad turnips, lettuce, and sugar snap peas like the spring share at first. Then tender bunching roots will start making the scene - carrots and beets. Then more substantial brassicas like cabbage and kohlrabi. Then the fruiting crops will join the mix - cucumbers, zucchini, eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, and more! New potatoes come in around mid-July. Head lettuces, fennel, radicchio, and summer salad mixes will be represented. There will usually be something from the onion family - scallions, fresh onions, shallots, onions, or garlic. And we try to include a fresh herb each week, too - usually parsley, cilantro, dill, basil, thyme, rosemary, or sage. Add On Shares are available for Summer too!
Here is your share enjoy your BBQ this week see you all after the holiday! - Farmer Chris
