CSA Week 4

Hello CSA Members!

It’s already Week 4 and summer is nearly here. We have more spring veggies to bring you this week as we wait for our warm weather crops to grow.

A lot of people have been asking about sorrel this week. If you’ve never used it and love the taste of lemon, you should definitely try it- in eggs, pesto, a salad, or even a chimichurri. It adds a little burst of flavor that’s addicting. Get creative with it!

Here is what we hope to bring you during Week 4:

Regular Share:
1 – Chives or Garlic Chives or Parsley or Sorrel
2 – Spring Onions
3 – Garlic Scapes
4 – Hakurei Turnips
5 – Asparagus (from our friends at Kiowa Valley)
6 – Kale or Chard or Collards
7- Lettuce

Large Share Additions:

We had another great week at CSA. Garlic scapes, turnips, and spring onions are all new this week, as well as some new herbs. We have lettuce for everyone too.

I hope you’ve been loving all the greens! Pesto has been a go-to for me- I’ll throw some garlic and whatever greens I have on hand together with parmesan, lemon juice, salt, and olive oil.

Here is what we hope to bring you during Week 3:

Rhubarb Salad Dressing

Here is a simple salad dressing using rhubarb. It is tart and sweet thanks to the honey and bright and clingy so it is suitable for heavy greens like kale or sturdy lettuces.

You need only a few ingredients and a blender.

3/4 cup chopped rhubarb
2 garlic cloves or green garlic
1/4 cup of whatever onion you have. I had walking onions, use what you have
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon oregano fresh or dried
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Chop the rhubarb and garlic and onions and put everything except 2 tablespoons of oil in the blender. Blend everything and thin the dressing with the oil you held back. This is a thick dressing!

That’s it. Dress your salad. I used kale and I like to have cheese and fruit or protein in salad so I added feta, dates and pistachios, but use what you like. Apples and chicken would be delicious with this dressing. Use your imagination.

Thank you Winter CSA Members!

We are delighted that you joined us for our Winter CSA! It makes us happy to be able to feed you for a few extra months each year. I hope it has warmed up your winter to have local veggies to take home. All of the roasted veggies and soups. And the fresh greens that you just can’t get anywhere else this time of year.

Things are quieter at the farm in February. Wyatt and I will be busy with indoor work like ordering seeds and doing repairs on equipment. The rest of our crew takes most of the month off. But we start things up in the greenhouse the first week of March. The first crops we start are things like onions, kale, and tomatoes. We also do our first outdoor planting of peas, radishes, and arugula in the middle of March. There aren’t many months of the year that we don’t have something growing even though we’re in Colorado!

The crops we start growing in March are what we feed you when our Summer CSA starts in late May. You can join now and look forward to warmer weather and fresh veggies. That always helps to get me though the final cold, dark months of winter.

Our CSA members are the foundation of our farm. We plan everything around our CSA and you’re the ones that keep us going year after year. It is beyond challenging to keep a vegetable farm running and we have so much gratitude for all of your support in this journey.

Winter CSA Week 13

Hello CSA Members!

The final week of Winter CSA is here. It’s been a long time coming. I’ve loved seeing old faces from the summer and fall and some new faces this winter. CSA is such a rewarding part of farming because it reminds you of the end goal- to share beautifully grown vegetables with the community. All the hard work during the season truly pays off when we see the joy fresh produce brings to people.

Sign-ups for our Summer/Fall 2025 CSA will be available soon on our website! You can sign up now to be notified when memberships become available.

We would love to see you in May. Thanks for a great season!

Here is what we hope to bring you during Week 13:

1 – Leeks or Winter Radishes
2 – Carrots
3 – Potatoes
4 – Turnips or Rutabaga
5 – Celeriac or Cabbage
6 – Beets
7 – Winter Squash or Roasted Chilies

There’s snow on the ground and it’s chilly outside, but we still have a lot left to bring you at CSA pick-up. Winter is a good time to reflect on the past season, think about what we can improve, and look forward to the next farming season.
