Welcome

We know we’re still a few months away, but we wanted to give you an inside look of what to expect when the 20 week program begins in June. Don’t worry though, there will be more communication and reminders to come.

WHAT WILL BE IN MY CHOICE SELECTED SHARE?
Of course your favorites will be there as well as lots of new items too. We have so much planned and will be presenting a season preview of what's to come soon!

Common favorites sampling:

Marry Washington Asparagus

Kesteral & Touchstone Gold Beets

Pickling Cucumbers

Five Star Grape Tomatoes

Green Magic Broccoli

Red Leaf Lettuce

Revolution Green Bell Peppers

Champion Radishes

Golden & Spineless Zucchini

New items sampling:

Broccoli Rabe! Although the flavor mellows somewhat as it cooks, broccoli rabe has a bitter taste that's also a bit earthy and nutty. It's particularly popular in Italian cuisine, and best when sautéed or blanched to soften the stalks and leaves | Photo Johnny's Seeds

Zinnias | We'll be adding sunshine to your dinner table with colors including: deep red, orange, carmine rose, coral, lime, wine, purple, bright pink, white, salmon rose, scarlet, and golden yellow | Photo Johnny's Seeds

Sweet Chocolate Peppers | Very mild flavor with a medium thick flesh. The flesh under the skin is actually brick red | Johnny's Seeds

STAY CONNECTED
Be sure to bookmark this blog for the latest CSA member information. Every week we will email you a pick-up reminder which will include a link to the Forkful CSA member blog. It will detail what’s in your share and include recipes, storage tips, food preparation, farm news, photos, videos and more! There may be a few surprises along the way too… so, shhh… it's a secret ;)

PICK-UP LOCATION COMING SOON
We are in the process of securing a location that provides shelter in case of bad weather. We are in connection with several locations and we will be in touch as soon as one becomes more solid. Don't worry though, we promise it will be close-by and maybe at our farm itself. We promise to keep you updated.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!
If you haven't already, would you mind participating in a quick 2-minute survey? We want to know how your CSA sign-up experience was. By answering a few questions it will help us help you with future services and products.
