Sarah washing beets in the wash room.

Elise picking garlic scapes. And yes, I realize we shouldn't let that Lamb's Quarter get that big.

Henry in the upper hoophouse

The tomatoes in the greenhouses are ripening fast, as CSAers already know. The upper hoophouses -- which have no supplemental heat -- are timed to come in a bit later, when the greenhouse tomatoes have passed their output peak. They're looking good!!!

First CSA pickup this week!!

by maryellen | Jun 15, 2008

CSA starts this week!! All the veggies (except the fall CSA) start this week and the beef CSA too. Woohoo!!!!

The CSA continues to grow, and our new St J pickup option was very popular - 21 families are picking up there, just beating out Danville as the most popular pickup location!!

If you have signed up for the CSA, you should have gotten an email from me this morning reminding you about the pickup. If you think you've signed up for the CSA and did not get an email from me, please call (592-3349) or email (maryellen at oldshawfarm.com) to make sure I have you on my list.

Fun at market

Playing house in the back of the car with Peter, Tim, and Olivia.

Henry selling the vegetables. He took the money, gave change, and then came around front to help folks pick a good cucumber.

Henry loves cucumbers

Cucumbers are in and Henry (and his friend Tommy) likes to eat whole cucumbers out of hand, like an apple.
