This week’s share: lettuce mix, arugula, spinach, beets, kale, chard, parsley, cilantro, onions, u-pick strawberries! We’re really feeling into the swing of things now that the farm is planted and a few weeks of CSA are behind us. It’s amazing what a few days completely dedicated to weeding will do. At the beginning of the week we really felt the weeds were going to overtake our crops, but after a few days of dedicating ourselves only to weeding, it feels Continue reading CSA Letter Week 3 This week’s share: radishes, turnips, beets, onions, dill, spinach, lettuce mix, arugula, kale, and u-pick strawberry pints! Once again, we have a nice harvest for you early in the season. As new as we are to farming, we still have the constant worry: will we have enough to harvest for CSA? Somehow, every week, there’s always a nice share ready! This week, we couldn’t be more excited to offer you strawberries to harvest. We’ll hand you a pint and you Continue reading CSA Letter Week 2 The crush of June planting is finally over, the greenhouse is clear of starts, our plants are growing in the ground, the CSA is finally here, and now it’s weed season! The cycles of the farm year, while challenging and exhausting, are what make farming fun. The majority of the share this week is coming off of our Mancos Lane plot, where we make use of the high tunnels, greenhouse and the infrastructure that was set up from last season Continue reading CSA Letter Week 1 – Again Welcome (and welcome back) CSA members. Thank you for supporting local and sustainable agriculture. Your shares begin this week and we’re looking forward to meeting/seeing all of you this Thursday. We’ll send out the usual CSA letter later in the week, but here are the logistics:
CSA pickup starts this Thursday (6/26) and runs from 3pm-6pm. We are excited to have the pickup at our new plot, which is located at 821 E. 32nd St, right between Sunshine Gardens Continue reading CSA Letter Week 1 – Welcome! Welcome 2014 CSA members! We here at Adobe House Farm (AHF) are happy and grateful to welcome back our returning CSA members as well as the new shares that have signed on for this season. We’d especially like to thank those that have stayed with us from our small thirteen-member beginning: Steve, Lisa, Carol, JM, Sally and Barb. Whether you’re deciding to stick with us in hopes of a bumper strawberry crop, or perhaps you’re holding out for a free Continue reading AHF 2014 CSA Information Raina helped us spread soy bean meal, an organic form of slow-release nutrients. We’d like to start this email by saying how much we love our customers. Many of you are following us on Facebook and Twitter and encouraging us with your comments and “likes”. You’ve been quick to respond when we’ve had excess greens throughout the winter and willing to come to grandma Jan and grandpa Ken’s garage refrigerator for the goods. The Fort Lewis College student Continue reading AHF 2014 CSA: Spread the Word! This week’s harvest: apples, potatoes, buttercup winter squash, onions, parsley, fennel It’s hard to believe that it’s early October and we’ve already replanted our tunnels and greenhouse into winter spinach. We are a month ahead of previous years because of the early end to the season. It has been hard for me to accept that it is time to wind down. My mind is already busy adjusting for next season. We are so new to growing and feel like each Continue reading 2013 CSA Letter Week 16 Week 15 harvest: Sweet Dumpling Winter Squash, Beets, Tomatillos, Tomatoes (red and green), Potatoes, Carrots, Garlic, Onion, Fennel Out with the old and in with the new! We’ve spent the week pulling our hail-battered crops and planting spinach for next season. Given the shorter season and the ability to replant at the end of September, we may even get spinach this fall. Our plan is to cover the beds with low hoops and plastic to protect it until spring. Continue reading 2013 CSA Letter Week 15 Week 14 harvest: tomatoes, peppers (bell, mini sweet, serrano), cucumbers, basil, parsley, kale, carrots, turnips, beets, cabbage We hope this letter finds all of you safe after the storms of this past week. After talking to some of our friends that live along County Road 250 and our friend who lives in Boulder we consider ourselves to be overall pretty lucky. However surveying the farm on Thursday morning was difficult. As some of you have found out by now the Continue reading 2013 CSA Letter Week 14 This Week’s Harvest: Root bundle (carrots, beets turnips), Zucchini, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Yellow Onions, Kale, Salad Greens, Sweet Peppers, Hot Peppers, Eggplant, Pears Everyone who has ever visited the farm recognizes immediately that we have a killer view! I’m convinced it’s the main reason we get so much volunteer help – what incredible surroundings to work among! The thunderstorms are always fun to watch build (usually over Animas mountain as you can see above). Tonight I was watching the lightning in Continue reading 2013 CSA Letter Week 13 |
