Crop List: Cosmic Mix, Spinach, Baby Kale, Pea Shoots, Green Onion, Lovage and Chives Welcome! We are so thrilled to begin this season of veggie distribution. We hope the food we grow nourishes you. We hope this food creates meals to share with your loved ones. We hope your body remembers what real flavor is after a long winter! And our favorite...We hope this food gives you the energy to make the world a better place. I ate my first plate of Cosmic Mix on Monday at lunch. Dang, I missed that stuff! It is tender, sweet and tastes alive! This spinach crop is gorgeous and plentiful. Spinach thrives in cool wet weather...and the Tetons provide! Most years by the time we start the CSA the chives are too far gone, but they are perfect right now. The flowers are edible and the purple adds such a fun splash of color to dishes. The green onions, planted last fall, are such a treat in the spring. And baby kale, pea shoots and lovage! What a great first share! This is always a really exciting week on the farm. We love seeing you all again and meeting new CSA members. We love having fresh things to eat again too. Jed and I are remembering all the tasks involved in getting a share out the door. Our employees are being trained on the fly. There is no real warm up to the first share. We just have to jump in and be ready to navigate all this week has to offer. Please reach out if you need to communicate about anything! I will send out a weekly newsletter every morning of your share pick up day. This is my medium for getting important farm info to you, sharing recipes and rambling about farm life. If you are not sure what to do with a particular veggie or need inspiration, follow the link below to our recipe bank. Please send us any recipes you find that you want to share, I'll add them! Below the link are some ideas about how I am using the veggies at the farm each week and some recipes I like to make for our family. Currently I am out of storage space for egg cartons! Please resist the temptation to bring them unless they have our label on them. I will rotate eggs around to each delivery site as we have them. The chickens are laying well right now but they slow down as the summer progresses. WE NEED SOME SITE HOSTS! If you know any friendly folks who want to work with the best customers ever, send them our way. Site host get a half a share in exchange for helping at our distribution points. We are looking for one on Thursdays at the farm in Victor and one in downtown Jackson also on Thursdays. We are happy to report we have revamped our volunteer program! If you (or someone you know!) is curious about high altitude gardening becoming a garden helper may be just right. We are only asking folks to commit to 1 morning a week for one month, that's 20-25 hours a month! It feels really good to have volunteers back on the farm, we missed them!! Lunch is provided!
