Abbe Hills Farm CSA

Greetings shareholders and friends of Abbe Hills Farm,

The Mt. Vernon winter farmers market season ended last weekend.  Bummer.  I’ve got loads of eggs right now – of course – so if you want some, you can get all you want at the farm nearly any time that works for you.  $3.50 per dozen, in the garage at the house.  If you zap me a note before you come, I’ll make double sure the garage is unlocked for you.

What a week.  No rain for several days!  And none expected for a few more!  We are working like maniacs.  My staff, including my poor old dad who had to ride the transplanter for five hours, heroically planted about 20,000 onion plants (which is a little like planting thread)  on Tuesday.  Whew!  We were able to finally do some tillage to start getting gardens ready, so we’ll be transplanting broccoli, cabbage, kale pretty soon, maybe even today.  And we’ll finally be able to plant the potatoes, which makes me very happy.  Probably you, too.

Thank you to everybody who has registered for the upcoming CSA season.  It starts in five weeks if the weather goes as expected.  As always, if you could put some brochures someplace where people who like to eat well are likely to see them, just let me know and I’ll make sure you have a handful.  Registration form is attached.  

Thank you for all you do to support Abbe Hills Farm,

Laura
