This week marks the beginning of staffing our farm store, which is usually a sign that we are starting to harvest a wider variety of crops (including a small amount of strawberries). A wider variety of crops also means that the CSA is starting soon - June 12th to be exact! CSA shares are still available, so if you haven’t yet signed up you can do so here. Because the CSA starts a little later this year, we are planning to offer a “Preview” week as an add-on, or as a chance to try it out if you haven’t done our CSA before. Stay tuned for more information later this week!

Available this week:
Asparagus
Strawberries: Strawberries are very popular and during the first week especially we tend to sell out fast. We truly appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding while yields ramp up. We hope to give as many people as possible the chance to enjoy some fresh local strawberries, so for now we will limit it to 1 pint per household. We are making a small amount available for online pre-order to give those who are unable to make it earlier in the day a shot at getting some!
Snapdragon bouquets: High tunnel-grown Bridal Pink variety.
Bok choi
Mini daikon
Curly kale bunches: May be available at the end of the week. Not available for pre-order yet.
Baby Kale Mix: May be available at the end of the week. Not available for pre-order yet.
Swiss chard
Spinach
Herbs: Chives, Mint, Oregano, Sage
Fat Moon Mushrooms: Farmer’s Mix and Shiitake (limited quantities so may not be available by the end of the week)
Baer’s Best Beans - 1 pound bags. Grown in South Berwick, Maine. Black Turtle Beans are organic, but other varieties are not.
Double B Honey - From hives on the property. Not organic.
Seedlings: New this week we have hot peppers (jalapeño, Hungarian hot wax and cayenne) and Shishito peppers. We’ll also have cucumbers and husk cherries (currently for online pre-order only, but we may have some available for walk-ups at the end of the week). We are running low on tomatoes and some herb varieties, so this week may be your last chance for some of those.
