September 2nd, 2013 This week’s harvest: Tomatoes (5 lbs!!), Basil, Chard, Kale, Cucumbers, Dill, Zucchini, Peppers, Carrots, Onions, Eggplant, Green Beans
It’s CSA week 11 and we’re in the midst of peak season. My east coast farming friends have been experiencing the bounty for months, but here in Durango with our cold nights all summer long, we finally get a few weeks of surplus before frost arrives!
Despite our late start on the new plot and the early season hail scare, the tomatoes

August 26th, 2013 This Week’s Harvest: Tomatoes (2 lbs), Basil, Chard, Kale, Parsley (Italian Flat Leaf), Cucumbers, Dill, Zucchini, Serrano Peppers, Carrots, Turnips, Onions… And, Green beans, in my opinion a most delicious vegetable!
This is Werner, the one and only non-Dixon Adobe House farmer! I am writing this message because I like green beans. Green beans are the unripe fruit of various cultivars of the common bean and a tender vegetable. Beans, when grown to ripeness and dried, are the hard seeds

Hello everyone, Peter here, giving Linley a break from the rigors of writing our CSA letter for week 9. We are officially half way through the CSA season and I’m 60% sure I’ve memorized 87% of everybody’s names. I have really enjoyed my weeks managing the CSA pickup at Linda’s Café. Being

August 12th, 2013 This week’s harvest: zucchini, lettuce, cilantro, tomatoes, cucumber, dill, sweet red and white onions, kale, chard, eggplant (group A), strawberries (group B)
“You are what you eat”, we’ve heard it from day one. As farmers, we are often asked about our diet. We have the opportunity to witness the differences between growing vegetables in poor vs. nutritious soil and there is overwhelming evidence that nutrition affects our health as well. Though the science of nutrition is in its infancy, we

August 5th, 2013 This Week’s Harvest: basil, cilantro, dill, tomatoes, sweet white onions, kale, chard, lettuce, arugula, zucchini, elephant garlic, strawberries (Group A)
Happy Harvest Day!
We’ve decided to give you a little extra basil this week to make pesto. It’s the perfect time because the stems have not become fibrous, and the plants are still producing a lot of tender leaves. Traditionally, basil is made with pine nuts, but a cheaper alternative is to use walnuts instead. We make pesto every week

July 29th, 2013 This week’s harvest: Spinach, Lettuce, Arugula, Kale, Chard, Zucchini, Tomatoes, Basil, Cilantro, Dill, Onion, Garlic, Eggplant (group A)
It’s amazing how short, but incredibly productive our season is. It must be the high altitude sun! The majority of our harvest is still ahead of us even as we head into August. The warm season crops start producing slowly but before you know it, there’s too much! That is the case for zucchini already and it is soon to be the

July 22nd, 2013 This week’s harvest: lettuce, zucchini, chard, kale, radishes, tomatoes, onions, , basil, cilantro, garlic (in case you don’t want to break into your braid).
Wow, the farm is growing fast these days. It seems we notice the plants getting bigger every night! We had no idea that the zucchinis would already be producing since it seems like yesterday we were wondering when they would start growing. But sure enough many escaped our attention and we found oversized zucchinis this Monday!

July 15th, 2013 This Week’s Harvest: Garlic Braids, Tomatoes!, Salad Greens (1 pound), Spinach, Mini White Sweet Onions, Chard, Kale, Dill ($46 farmers market value!!)
Thanks to Werner, Peter, and our work/share volunteers, I had a lovely time with my family in Salt Lake last week and the produce still made its way to you. The farm grew so much in just the 5 days that I was gone and I was so emotional when I saw it again upon my return. It

July 8th, 2013 CSA Share Week 3: Chard, Kale, Spinach, Green Onions, Turnips, Basil, Mint
We hope you had a wonderful 4th of July weekend. We watched the fireworks on a ledge by the college with a view up the valley, the Animas winding through town, and the sun setting over the La Platas. Wow, we are so privileged to farm in a town with a view like that! With June and the month of planting behind us, we move into July: the
