Down-right hot today and windy in the evening! We are down to the last stretch in planting the garden: carrots, corn, beans, kohlrabi, and Daikon radishes going in each evening–Then Tuesday we are transplanting the tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant holed up in the greenhouse since April!
We still have openings in the CSA…help us fill it out! Word of mouth is the best form of advertising: Been with us a while? Tell a friend! New this year and excited? Tell a neighbor! All the information you need is posted at http://www.lloydcraftfarms.com , CSA tab. Sign up there, and mail a check or drop it off Thursday at Buyer’s Group– Easy! And so worth it…local food, organically grown–
Growing a garden this year? Good for you! Let me encourage you to consider a Monthly Share in the CSA. Our garden will provide you things you might not grow in your garden, and a chance to shop every Thursday from 4pm to 6pm for other veggies, regional fruit in season, ginger and turmeric, herbs, and mushrooms. Cost is $115 for a Share in July, August, & September, and the ability to shop! Unlike the Buyer’s Group, the CSA requires membership. Our CSA Members help us fund the garden…that’s the Community Support part of the CSA PLAN!
