Today we were very fortunate to have the help of Phoenix School students once more at Big Lick. We had a full day weeding, planting Armenian cucumbers, corn and lettuce and hilling our ever growing potato patch. Several of the students have now been out to the farm twice and it is so gratifying to see how they have taken an interest in it and are beginning to feel part ownership from the work they've helped us to get done. It sure makes the tedious chores of farm life go by faster too when you have good conversation! Education is a vital component to our mission as organic farmers. To teach stewardship of the land.. not just as a resource but as a living thing that needs to be cared for. How did I get so lucky to love my job?? Of course check back in with me on that in a few more weeks once we are entrenched in CSA season! ha!
This Thursday will be the first CSA delivery. What you can expect to find in your CSA share this week are:
Spinach
Snow Peas
Cimmaron Lettuce
Mesclun Mix Salad Greens
Broccoli
Beets/Beet Greens
Collards
Don't forget to check the blog out on Thursday as Wednesday night I will be posting the weekly newsletters here with recipes and more farm updates.
Paz!
