Hello CSAers!
Our first outdoor market is Saturday April 1 and ramp season has begun! This wonderful spring ephemeral "wild leek" of the forest only lasts until early May so if you'd like to "ramp up" your 2017 CSA, come on over to the market and start using your share!
We'll also have limited greens at the market--baby chard, mustard, kale, stir fry mix, cilantro... If you'd like greens and can't get there early, give a call and we'll some save back for you. (New crops of various greens will ready in a couple weeks.) We'll have our dried black and pinto beans, popcorn, cornmeal, dried herbs & teas, salve...
Several of Berea's market vendors will be participating in the KY Green Living Fair on April 8, a big annual event in Somerset, KY. I will be teaching a permaculture workshop and we will have a booth as well. Since we won't be at Berea's market, come join in the fun--good food, music education, plants, seeds, supplies, demonstrations, home brews...all in one place! 10 a.m to 6 p.m. on Saturday April 8. Go to kygreenliving.com for more information.
We'll be back to the Berea Market the following Saturday, April 15, but not certain about April 22. I will be in NC for a nephew's wedding, so it depends on how comfortable the new farm apprentices feel with taking the reigns!
As you know, Salamander Springs Farm will only be doing the Saturday market this season, and that will be our CSA day too. Because of weekend permaculture in practice workshops on the farm this season, there will several Saturday markets that we'll have to miss. We will communicate those dates ahead and do our best to keep you stocked with the farm's abundance.
Looking forward to seeing you at a Saturday market soon!
