Welcome back for another growing season!
Farmer David has been disappointed with the tardy arrival of spring, but has already begun constructing hoop tunnels in his upper field and is harvesting baby greens from his wood-heated greenhouses.
He is also supplementing our boxes with products from other farmers and producers this year, which means your investment in local foods will extend beyond just one family farm.
You'll be receiving some the following items, all produced within ten miles of the Yoder farm:
Maple Syrup
Baked goods and bread from Yoder's Sweet Shop
Honey from Powell's Apiary
"Wholly Cow Pastures" Organic Sharp Cheddar Cheese
as well as, from David's farm: bags of mixed greens (baby turnip greens, arugula, and spinach), turnips, and rhubarb.
As soon as the weather warms up, the crops will take off. In terms of planting, David is about four weeks ahead of most other farmers and he expects that our boxes will be filling up quickly in the next three weeks or so.
In the meantime, thank you for your investment in local food!
HI, We are new to this CSA and excited to receive quality locally grown goods. We have some children in Columbus, Ohio and they have similar CSA's there.
ReplyDeleteWe are happy to see that Jim Powell will have his honey in this week's box. We go to church with Jim and have enjoyed his bee stories over the years, not to mention the wonderful honey. Few days go by without a spoonful of honey from his hardworking bees.
Carl and Kathy Meyer, Greenville.
Welcome! Here's hoping our paths cross out at the Yoder farm one of these days.
