Heavenly Rain!!

Our girls were excited to see the rain. Beth was "Singin' In The Rain".












We are so very thankful for the rain that we are receiving this week. We were in deperate need of it. Our lawns and pasture were turning brown and the gardens were really slow to get going. We now have a bountiful harvest each week for our CSA boxes and for the market on saturdays. Last night was week four of our box delivery.








This weeks boxes contained new potatoes, beets with greens, mizuna, tatsoi, white globe turnips, garlic scapes, snow peas, pod peas, lettuce mix, radish, green onions and carrots.

On the left there is a picture of mizuna being suateed in olive oil with a tsp of maple syrup and a tsp of apple cider vinegar. It should be cooked for about six minutes.

Today.

As I sit here I am watching the sheep out on the back pasture leisurely grazing. They don't have a care in the world. Andrew is out hunting for potato bugs and I am baking sugar cookies for VBS this week at our church.

Today Andrew started to plough our back field. It had not been ploughed in at least thirty years and he began to get frustrated.

We were back at the market this Saturday. It was really busy and we sold everything that we had brought down.

The top picture is our Khatadin Ram "Rambo".

First CSA Box Night.

Our first CSA night was a success. We added some certified organic strawberries from Richard and Heather Brown's farm in Bloomfield. Everyone worked well together this afternoon in gettting the boxes prepared. Andrew and I delivered the boxes without a hitch and the route took less time than we expected. We really enjoyed meeting everyone tonight and putting a face to the phone calls and emails.

This weeks' box contained Carrots, Green Onions, Swiss Chard, Turnip Greens, Lettuce, Beets with Greens and strawberries.

See You Next Week,

JG
