Summer Share #1 of 20: The Summer Share is Starting!

The Summer Share is finally starting! Woohoo!! It's really what alllllll the planning we do is for. We've emailed all our 2026 members reminder emails about the share. Look in your inboxes or even spam folders!

As for us we are nearing the end of 'Planting Season', which is a really big push to get all our long season crops into the ground before it is literally too late. But finally the greenhouses are looking pretty empty and now it's time for actually caring for the crops in order to get a good harvest. Some things are completely out of our control, like the weather. Other things are in our control to some extent, but take lots of time to improve (like soil health), while other things are completely under our control (you never make a mistake, right?). So I guess we are in 'Tired Season', or 'Pedal to the Floor' Season right now.

I know everyone's life is very busy, but make sure to take a breath and quiet things down while you're at the farm so you can enjoy your summer full of wonderful vegetables!! We are looking forward to seeing everyone, both familiar and new faces, soon.

The first share of the season is always chock full of leafy green things! This week will include: bunched greens, radishes, fennel, spinach, herbs, head lettuce, and bok choy.

The Fruit Share will start in July. The UPick field will also open in July sometime.
