SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Strawberries….last week I announced that we would be able to offer bulk flats of berries to CSA members. Apparently, the strawberry patch didn’t get the memo! We are in a lull right now, and it could be a while before we are harvesting enough berries to offer bulk flats to members…my apologies for getting your hopes up! I will keep a list, in a first come, first serve manner, keeping those who have already requested berries at the top of the list. As soon as the berries are abundant again, I will let you know!
Organic Grass Fed Beef availability is now open! For those of you who requested the current info, you should be receiving it in your mailbox or email any time now. If you haven’t requested the info and would like to receive it, just let me know and I’ll get it out to you, or you can look online at our website for the info….Winter Green Farm Organic Grass Fed Beef

It looks like we may have made it through the heat wave section of our summer, as cooler weather rolls in..I know our crew is happy to hear that, especially the irrigation guys, as they have been running ragged trying to keep everything hydrated. The good thing about the heat is that the warm weather loving crops are growing so well…we started having some crew picking zucchini on the weekends, as they seem to grow inches overnight!
A FARMER PROFILE:
We have been very fortunate to have Lucero join our crew this season. She has been interested in working on a farm for a long time, and has spent the last 3 months with us. She grew up in a very small town in the mountains of southern Mexico, far from everywhere. In those times, her family grew their own vegetables at home. With time, this custom has been lost. Along with the disappearance of home agriculture, many traditional crops are not cultivated any more in her home town.
