Fresh Harvest Farm

Sue and I decided to try out a concept called Community Supported Agriculture this summer. We just got our first update from Patti, our farmer:

"Hello everyone. Tuesday was, to me, an exceptionally beautiful day. I had the opportunity to work in the field under a clear, blue, spring sky while the weathermen accurately predicted impending snow. I worked preparing beds for our snap pea seeds and onion transplants. With a little bit of luck, we will lovingly press the first pea seeds into the ground next week and our beautiful baby onion transplants will take up residence in their new home beyond the protection of their glass nursery. As I worked, I came upon one cheery yellow dandelion flower, held close to the ground so as to conserve warmth during this cold spring. It was so good to be out on the land, I could hardly keep from dancing. This is going to be a wonderful season and I want to personally invite each and every one of you to join us for the harvest, to join us in the great adventure that lies ahead. The planting plans are all in place and just waiting for the right moment to be implemented, the tractor is tuned up and running like a champ, the tools are ready and we are all chomping at the bit to be out on the land and growing."

I'm looking forward to our first shipment of vegetables. By the way, Patti is still looking for more families to help support her effort, here's the contact info to get more information:
