Richert/Phillips Farms

   What a season thus far-- every year proves to have its ups and downs.

We are hoping to increase CSA membership this year by 65-75 new members. Also, to add some specialty crops to the mix for members. Overall we are pleased with the CSA members--they are a good group of people to work with.

   This years downs where we had no workers on the farm but two and they left before the first week was up. We do not ask workers to do anything we won't do--we are right along side them in the fields doing the same as they are. It takes about 3-7 workers plus ourselves to manage this farm.

   Ups, it was a great year for production for most crops. Yields were up from last year and quality on most items has remained in the tops.
