Salamander Springs Farm/Permaculture Organics

Hello Salamander Springs Farm CSAers!

It looks to be a chilly morning for our first outdoor market this Saturday--at our NEW LOCATION at 416 Chestnut Street in Berea-on the grassy square on the curve beside the old People's Bank building (across the street from their new bank).  You may have seen our new Berea Farmers' Market sign up.  There is plenty of parking in the back.   Though it's early in the season, many of our veteran vendors will be coming in solidarity for the market's opening!

The 2016 CSA officially starts more than a month from now, but our "Shopper's Basket" CSA model is flexible so I invite you to come start using your share Saturday!  I'd love our members to be able to enjoy our Spring ephemeral of the forest:  tasty, pungent ramps (wild leeks).  The season for ramps is short and early--over by the first of May!  We will also have spring salad mix, green onions, nutritious tasty nettles, some plant starts, sunchokes, chard, kale, and stir-fry mix--in limited quantities; if you want us to set aside anything until you get there, leave me a message at 859-893-3360.

As our CSA veterans know, it is challenging for me to post these CSA notices (being off-grid & w/o internet on the farm), but we'll be at the Saturday market before the CSA officially starts in mid-May.  So feel free to start the season early and use your CSA share to to the fullest!

CSA pick-up this season will be at the Saturday market unless we have a conflicting event or permaculture workshop (in which case we will let you know if we need to change it to the Tuesday market). You can look through the past season's CSA blogs here to see what produce will be available when; informtion on the farm tours and events is also available on this website. The Salamander Springs Farm photo site shows many past farm events and workshops as well as a set of my permaculture teaching slides (www.flickr.com/photos/salamanderspringsfarm/sets).

Berea Arts Council will also be have a plant sale at the market Saturday.  Hope to see you there!
