news from the farm
Hello Farm Fam! I hope your 2023 year is starting out amazing. We had a WILD 2022, the farm had a rough start with losing most of our summer starts which caused us to cancel our CSA. Which turned out to be bitter sweet when we found out a few months later that we were expecting a tiny farm hand later in the winter! We welcomed baby Honor on 11/1 and we are just over the moon with this tiny addition to our loving farm family. I can’t wait for you all to meet him!
We are well into spring and jumping into the growing season. We have some major cleanup to do from last season when we had to walk away from our tools and crops mid season. We decided we needed to make a major change to how we start our seedlings this year and are working with Vermont Compost, the top of the line potting mix. It's the Chanel of dirt! We were lucky enough to get our hands on some in time! The cold weather crops are in the long greenhouse already and over 1300 heads of lettuce are seeded. Next up will be to start working the soil. I personally can't wait to get my hands dirty. The feeling of the fresh dirt and the warm sun on your back in the spring is therapy for me after a long winter of staying inside. Though my hear tand soul always welcome time on the couch with my. loved ones close by while we watch the fire roar. The soil and the farmers heal during the winter.
A CSA that is easier for you
This season we are trying something new. A CSA experience that is a little more customizable for you and your busy life. The hardest part of participating in a CSA is the commitment of 20 weeks with no breaks. What if you're going on vacation? What if you have soccer tournaments out of town? What if you just wanna binge and eat out all week? Or maybe you want to have more one week. Now you can do all of these things!
Starting in May the CSA shop will be opened on the Fox Whistle website. Once the boxes become available for each week, you can go to the site, choose the size box you want, add eggs and other extras, and choose your pickup location. This allows you the opportunity to make changes as needed. Throughout the season we will also offer deals on extras like - canning tomatoes, cucumbers for pickling, and other sweet deals. There's no commitment! Come and go as you please each week.
