A few more items of business for the weekly pick-ups:
- Occasionally you will see bags in the coolers with someone's name on it. Unless you are that person, please don't take it. A few CSA members don't have email, so I put a printed copy of the newsletter in their bag of produce. Also, there are times when I send extra food for someone so I'll have their name on a bag. If you didn't ask for anything extra, just take a normal unmarked bag.
- This past week there were at least 3 shares of produce that did not get picked up. I was a little surprised with it only being the second week of the season. This gets me to worrying that there was some kind of confusion or mix up. Most likely, someone just wasn't in town to get their food. Then I start to think about the good food that went to waste. (Yes, sometimes I think too much.) Please know that if you are ever not able to get your share, you are certainly welcome to have someone else pick it up. Just give them clear instructions (like the ones I'm giving you now), or call and we can make some kind of arrangements.
As you may have noticed, we use a lot of recycled plastic grocery bags. Just last week we used over 120 bags. At this rate, I'm going to run out in a few week. Please send us your clean, dry bags. Just leave them in or by the coolers at your pick-up location.
This week your share will include:
Salad Mix
Spinach
Radishes
Boc choi
Chinese Cabbage
The weather has gotten much warmer so quickly that the veggies are growing like crazy. Shain says there are times you can literally see the growth from one day to the next. Unfortunately, this also means some of the cold weather crops are bolting (this is when the plant sends up a seed stalk and often the flavor turns bitter.) So, this will be the last week you will get the boc choi and cabbage. The radishes and turnips are going to seed too, but we should be able to get another week out of them.
Have a great week and Enjoy! :) Tara
