We are very happy to be starting another CSA season! It has been a busy spring at our farm. The weather has been beautiful but that means things have been non-stop. No rain days for us! We’ve planted the first succession of the early season crops – radishes, peas, lettuce and all the other greens, and a whole bunch more. And most of the summer crops have been transplanted as well – tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, zucchini. We’re still working on things like melons and winter squash but those will be planted very soon. It’s an exciting time of year!

There are a few hundred lettuce heads that are almost ready!

So much of our farm is planned around our CSA members. Wyatt does his crop plan for the entire season based on making sure we have a good mix of veggies to give you each week. I love the CSA model partly because we know how much to plant and at harvest time we know exactly how much we need with no waste. And for many of the crops you take them home within hours of harvest so they are almost as fresh as picking them from your backyard garden.

Our CSA members are the backbone of our farm. You give us stability and shower us with your gratitude. Farming is hard. There’s no other way to put it. We appreciate every one of you for making Red Wagon possible!
