Spring is in the air! Though the fields are still muddy, if it’s a dry month, we’ll be able to plant frost-hardy greens, carrots, radishes, turnips, and onions. Salad greens from our tunnel will be available for just the next week and then the tunnel will be planted for early tomatoes! Come visit us this Wednesday at the Smiley Building from 3-6 to buy our fresh, sweet winter lettuce! 

Many of you have been emailing us to be in our CSA for the upcoming season, but because we will not be growing on the 32^nd St. plot, we will NOT be offering an Adobe House Farm CSA! But there is a local CSA option…

We will continue to grow at the 1-acre plot in the same neighborhood as Tobey’s adobe house where we have 2 tunnels and a greenhouse. We will be marketing our products at Farmers Market and through a new local farmer collaborative CSA run and distributed by the farmer-owned Southwest Farm Fresh Co-op (SWFF).

Becoming a SWFF CSA member is an excellent opportunity to support many of your local farmers and our cooperative all at once, allowing each farm to specialize in fewer crops, but still offering you a large variety together. You can also add local cheese, meats, and baked goods to your subscription if you want! The pick up is at the Smiley Building on Thursdays from 3-6. Check out more details here and subscribe early if you are interested (they are limiting membership to 100 and only 30 for the meat add-on so join quickly).

It has been a wonderful winter of rest, learning and preparation for the coming season. Linley had the opportunity to continue to promote local food to the community at the Green Business Roundtable. Check out her presentation here if you missed it.

While our operation is smaller this year, we are still passionate and committed to growing food for Durango and open to new possibilities for where we can grow on larger acreage on a more permanent basis for you.
