FIELD NOTES High tunnel tomatoes are growing by leaps and bounds! It's Week 2 of the CSA! How did last week go? Were you able to use all of your veggies in your meal plan? We would love to hear all about it, please message us at csa@bardwellfarm.com :) It's been a crazy-busy start of the work week! We prepped and planted our southern fields with winter squash and pumpkins. We know that sounds early but it generally takes that long to see seasoned fruit from the plants. We also put in more settings of brassicas, lettuces, and sweet corn to make sure we overlap our previous ones. This will ensure we have enough variety and quantity through out the summer for our farm stand, CSA, farmers markets, and wholesale accounts. We try to do this every 2 weeks. June means we are busy harvesting. With all of the vegetables beginning to come in, we are hoping to raise our farm stand tent this week or the next. The space will give us enough room to display and shade all of our goodies from week to week. It'll also give us a place for the CSA farm share in case of inclement weather. Stay tuned to social media. We're excited about this week's CSA because we were able to sneak strawberries and fresh mint into the share, we hope you are too! If you have any questions about any of the items, what they are, how to prepare or cook them, call us at (413) 800-5583 and we'll be happy to help! Harrison Bardwell WHAT TO USE FIRST

FIELD NOTES The crew harvesting fresh red and yellow spring onions Welcome to the first week of the farm share everyone! There are a ton of things going on at the farm any given day of the week. This is where we will keep you updated about all of these things including the progress of our shared investment. It has been a really busy month finishing up everything for the CSA. The fields are prepped and planted. We laid miles of biodegradable plastic and planted thousands upon thousands of seedlings and seeds. We got out in the fields as early as we could and stayed out there as long as we could. We had so many after dark days, more than we can count and many more to come. It's been a cooler than usual spring with several extreme heat days, some reaching into the upper 90s. Luckily, we have had just the right amount of rain in between those days to keep everything moving along. It's all shaping up to be a bountiful June! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions what-so-ever about the CSA or your share, call (413) 800-5583 or email csa@bardwellfarm.com. Thank you again for investing in our farm and we'll be seeing you soon! Owner Harrison Bardwell YOUR CSA EXPERIENCE These tips will help enhance your farm share

WEATHER ALERT Monday - October 11, 2021 It looks like we may get some rain this week folks, keep those umbrellas handy one more time! FIELD NOTES Is it too early to say that we can't wait for June? It's week 20 and the last week of the farm share. We're really going to miss you all. This year has been one for the history books that's for sure. The labor shortage really hurt our day-to-day operations and let me tell you, it was a struggle some days. The rain we have received this past season and the lack of sun the risk certainly out paced the reward in terms of bounty. We lost field after field of crops, but somehow we made it all work. We have hope better growing conditions will prevail in 2022. The great thing about farming is you can always begin again. We sincerely hope you enjoyed the farm share this year. So much of ourselves go into each and every week. You've heard the term, "it takes a village" and that my friend is the truth. I want you to know our farm wouldn't be what it is today without your wonderful support. A big thank you to our 2021 members, each and every one of you. See you all next year!
