Admiring blooming tulips was a great start to Earth Day this morning! The first variety that we’re harvesting is a new-to-us variety called Avant Garde, but other varieties are not far behind. We should have tulips available for several weeks leading up to Mother’s Day, which is right around when asparagus season begins. Our high tunnel greens are winding down, but we will still have limited quantities this week and next. After next week, we have to turn over our high tunnels to the tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers!
Online pre-orders will open today, Tuesday April 22nd at 6pm and close Friday, April 25th at 6am. Also, this is Week 4 of the Fat Moon Farm Mushroom CSA. If you place an order for greens, we will add your Mushroom CSA share to your greens order. Pick-ups for both pre-orders and the Mushroom CSA are Friday April 25th, 2pm-6pm on the farm stand porch. Please email us if you would like to have your order or Mushroom CSA left out after 6pm for later pick-up.

We had an eventful weekend with the 250th celebration. Lise and her daughter rode on the Ag Committee float in the parade, while Melissa and her son cheered on all the farmers and took photos!
