"Simply Summer" CSA

Rocky Glade Farm 2012 "Simply Summer" CSA

Rocky Glade Farm "Simply Summer" CSA
Please join us for our 5th Summer CSA Season!

The Simply Summer CSA will consist of a half bushel box of veggies each week for a 10-week season in the heart of our summer production, June to August. Pickup options include: Thursday on the farm, or Tuesday in Franklin.

As usual, we are going to try a few new things this coming growing season of 2012. For us those include, sunflowers and more fragrant/flowering herbs, yellow doll and orange-glo watermelons, cantaloupes and more of that wonderful Mr. Mini Mirai sweet corn! In addition, we are hoping for a great start to the season, so in the spring we will plant carrots that should be ready in time for the first CSA boxes, more heat tolerant lettuce to make it further into your CSA season and new varieties and colors of tomatoes (this is gonna be fun!). Last year we grew several varieties of potatoes and this year we plan to regrow the best from 2011 and try a few new ones for 2012. Leeks were new to the boxes last year and based on your reaction to them we plan to grow more, so that you will have the chance to cook with them a few more times throughout the season. We hope for a good onion variety and supply throughout the summer CSA season. Zucchini and Squash hopes are high with a few new varieties to try in order to find the most productive, tastiest/bug tolerating squash! Every year is different, always there is a bit too much of this and a little too little of that, but we hope that 2012 brings an abundance for your boxes and wonderful meals for your families. We look forward to the opportunity to grow for you!
