We all took a long week end to celebrate the 4th as well as Shannon Varleys marriage to BJ Miller on Monday July 3rd in Pittsburg PA! It was a beutiful, loving wedding set on an idealic farm complete with lots of kids and pleanty of dancing in a restored bank barn from the mid 1800s. Congratulations Shannon, BJ and Mave!
We just harvested fresh garlic and early potatos for you and you can expect plenty of summer squash as well. The early basil from transplant is ready for picking in the PYO. You can also count on getting some cooking greens as well.
I'll update this later on with a more complete list after we finish up the harvest but I thought you'd want to know about the new arrivals listed above.
Later today....here is the rest of the harvest:
Radishes
spring onions
chard
turnips
peppers
cucumbers
kohlrabi.
And in the PYO (pick your own) - dill, statice, cilantro, thyme, oregano, batchelor's buttons, snap dragons, daisies, sweet peas, gomphrena,basil and straw flowers.
And in the planter boxes - Sage, mint, majoram, lemon balm, nasturshims, chives, marigolds, lovage.
Please note that during the week of July 17th we will be preparing for our annual farm tour known as "Artfarm". We will not be harvesting for the CSA that week. We hope you will be able to come enjoy the free event here on the farm Jul;y 22nd from 10 am til 3pm. There will be music, site specific performance art and who knows what else. stay tuned for more info- Woody

Hearty wedding congratulations to Shannon and family!
We've been looking forward to the first potato harvest. A few years ago, a cooking magazine published a feature on potato salads. We had a potato salad taste-off (yes, we ate lots and lots of potato salad that summer), but a clear winner emerged for our palate. It sounds like we'll be making that winning recipe in the coming week...!
