CSA: Trowel & Error Farm

This year’s Summer CSA will be a collaborative effort between Trowel & Error Farm and Mari Hunt Wassink’s farm, Black Earth Gardens in Cedar Rapids!

What to expect:

The same bountiful, diverse CSA boxes, now with even more variety and the opportunity to support 2 local beginning farmers.

2/3 of the produce will come from Trowel & Error, and 1/3 will come from Black Earth Gardens.

You’ll still receive the newsletter straight to your email inbox, and it will have updates and recipe ideas from both of our farms.

We grow about 50 different kinds of vegetables ranging from favorites like onions, carrots, and tomatoes to unique offerings like arugula, okra, and swiss chard. Part of sharing the risk with the farmer in a CSA means that we are all – farmers and eaters – subject to nature’s rhythms! So while we cannot guarantee that a particular vegetable will appear in your share in a particular week, here’s an idea of what to expect:

June – spinach, radishes, turnips, bok choy, beets, scallions, kale, snap peas, arugula, lettuce/greens, kohlrabi

July – collards, kale, lettuce, onions, green beans, eggplant, cucumber, carrots, beets, herbs (parsley, cilantro, basil)

August – Tomatoes, peppers, swiss chard, zucchini/summer squash, eggplant, cucumbers, garlic, tomatillo, ground cherry

September – tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, broccoli, potatoes, garlic, onions, leeks, spinach, melon, lettuce/greens
