Hello CSA Members!

What a reprieve last week was from the summer heat! The signs of fall are settling in… crispy mornings, earlier sunsets, leaves beginning to change color, birds migrating, and assortments of winter squashes. Just 5 weeks left of our summer CSA!

Here is what we hope to bring you during Week 18:

Regular Share:
1 – Herbs
2 – Onion
3 – “The Summer Catch” (an end of summer crops medley)
4 – Roasted Peppers
5 – Fresh Peppers
6 – Arugula
7 – Melon
8 – Winter Squash

Large Share Additions:
– Onion + Shallot/Leek
– Pick 2 from “The Summer Catch”
– Kohlrabi

Fruit Share:
– Pears
The schedule for the fruit harvest will be erratic this summer due the exceptionally warm weather in Colorado earlier this year. In general, all of the fruit crops will be ripe about a month earlier than we are used to. There will likely be breaks throughout the season when there is no fruit available. But we are still hopeful that we will be able to fill the full 14 weeks of our Fruit Share.

Hello CSA Members, happy CSA Week Sweet 16!

Who knew that Elk could be a pest? Wyatt has been up for several nights this past week at the 63rd farm fending off a herd of Elk from eating our winter squash! Just another day (night?) in the life of the farm. Between that and all the other challenges this season – water, unprecedented heat, plant disease – we just want to take a moment and say a big THANK YOU for supporting Red Wagon Farm and riding these ups and downs with us. We love growing and serving you all fresh veggies. 💚

Who used their collards, and what did you make? If you would like to email a photo to csa@redwagonfarmboulder.com, we would love to share it on our social platforms!

We are still feeling the transitional moment between the first set of crops and successions. It’s the bell curve nature of harvesting, and we are just about to climb the upward momentum of the curve – the tomato plants illustrate this perfectly!
