Massaro Farm CSA's First Distribution of Produce

Today, June 22nd 2010, we celebrate our first distribution of produce.

Farmer Steve and crew started the day early, around 7:30 am this morning, preparing for the event.  Together they set up the distribution area, picked and washed the produce and arranged the display.  As the pick-up time arrived everything was ready.

Individuals, families and CSA Board members trickled in and out through out the afternoon and everyone happily received their first share of produce.  Many members walked in the fields picking beans and talking with Farmer Steve and other CSA board members.  All had a good time and warm community experience.

We want to thank everyone who helped out and made today a success.  Thanks!

First Massaro Farm CSA Produce Pickup - June 2010

Produce distribution:
The first distribution of produce is next week!  Pick up days are Tuesday, June 22 and Friday, June 25.  Please come between 2:30pm and 6:30pm on your designated pick up day.
Here is what you can expect:
Week #1- Kale, Lettuce, Radishes/Turnips.
In the first few weeks of distribution the share of produce will be simple and light.  As we move deeper into
summer the bounty should increase, allowing you to take home a greater variety of produce. There will be some
crops that you can pick yourself, including green beans, and cherry tomatoes.  When such “U-pick” crops are
available, there will be instructions at the farm as to how to proceed.  Please be prepared to bring your own bags
for produce.  Canvas bags, paper bags and plastic bags all can be used to take home your produce.  If you have a
stash of extra bags you’d like to bring to the farm, we’d be happy to have them.
I look forward to seeing you all at the farm.
Best,
Farmer Steve
