Welcome to WEEK 10 here at The Dahlia Farm. This week features "Washington Cherry" Tomatoes, Golden Beets, New Potatoes, fresh cut Genovese Basil, Blueberries, Cucumbers, "Summer Spinach" (Chard), "Zephyr" Summer Squash and Curly Kale.
Be sure to tell your friends to get their own share - but they don't have to wait until next year. CSA shares (and half-shares) are available now through the remaining second half of the season. Full shares are $25 per week and the generous half-share is only $15 a week.
A half-season share is a great way to test-drive the CSA model, especially if you're not sure the weekly market basket idea is for you. We are so sure you'll be satisifed, we are currently developing an off-season plan to deliver a 12-month-long New England CSA in collaboration with several other farms, bakers & pastry chefs, fishermen & meat producers.
As always, please help us out with your feedback. Email, call us or post here. Your suggestions help us serve you better.
Nothing brings out the city hippies like a day of transplanting on an organic farm. Pictured here, our friends from JP -- the inseparable CatDog -- are working for only beers and bragging-rights on how they passed a beautiful saturday... (Obviously these guys misunderstood us when we said we might need them for "weeding.")
I did an interview recently with the infamous blogger & Middleboro Gazette columnist Bellicose-Bumpkin on a number of issues related to natural, bio-diverse farming. Today it was posted to the world and can be found on his blog at: http://bellicose-bumpkin.blogspot.com/2009/04/csa-middleboro.html
