Share #1 June 3rd & 5th

Crop List: Spicy Mix, Pea Shoots, Sorrel and Chives

I'm going to say it...This is the earliest we have EVER started shares, in 29 years. We have started the first week of June before...but never on the 3rd! What a spring! 
Welcome!
We hope this season nourishes you. We are honored to be growing your veggies. We have so many goodies already taking root in the garden. We are happy to provide you with the best tasting, freshest organic produce around. And... we hope we save you a few trips to the grocery store!
It was a tough call for us to start the shares. We generally like to have a couple more items in the first share then we do this week. The Spicy Mix was ready for harvest before everything else. If we didn't harvest it this week it would have gone to waste.
So our options were limited. Start the shares or till in the spicy mix. Since we are not fans of wasting things we grow, we decided to start. Consider this week your Appetizer Course on the summer menu! Next week will definitely be a Salad Course! As all of our returning CSA members can assure you, the shares will continue to get bigger each week.

It feels wonderful to be back in the sunshine without a down jacket on. The air in Victor smells so fragrant right now. Lilacs and Serviceberry are all in bloom and it is a reminder of how sweet life is. The poppies, apple trees and peonies are getting ready to burst. The hills are as green as they get. During spring the hope of abundance is palpable.  
The garden is full of plants that are less then 3" tall. Each full of promise of a meal to come, or a sunflower to enjoy.
Spring is the time to sow the seeds you want to harvest for the year. Literally and figuratively. Dream big. Plant your seeds with intention. May your year be full of abundance and nourishment!

​Lunch on the Farm this week: Sorrel Rice Noodles
Recipe Ideas: Sorrel Cream Sauce (a surefire way to fall in love with sorrel), Fresh Chive Dressing, Pea Shoots chopped and added to a burger or burrito.

Help us get Fresh Veggies to our Neighbors!!
Cosmic Apple donates 4 shares to the Teton Valley Food Pantry every year. Our amazing community raises more funds for more shares. We are currently at 13 shares!
Can you pitch in to help us raise that number? Access to healthy food helps folks get back on their feet quicker. It really lifts our whole community up when everyone is nourished.
​Any amount helps! We pool the money for shares!

Site Host Needed!
We are in need of a site host on Thursdays at the farm! It is a volunteer position and the volunteer receives a 1/2 share for being there! It's a great way to be on the farm and meet amazing members of our community! If you know anyone who would be a good fit, PLEASE send them our way!

We have lots of extra goodies available at your pick up. If you want something specific, please email me and I will make sure it is in the cooler, reserved just for you. Dinner just got easier!
