hi friends,

We just had a quiet weekend here with no events and no trip to the farmers market. it was nice to have a little break, but I missed seeing so many folks. Next weekend we will be hosting a workday all day saturday, followed by a potluck and activity. The plan is to harvest garlic, but it's possible that we will do some other weeding activities too.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY:
SAt. july 8: 9am-4pm. help with harvesting garlic and hanging it to dry and other misc farm tasks
9am-noon, and 1-4pm.
potluck lunch noon -1.

POTLUCK EVENT: July 8.

Dear Friends,

Our summer potluck season has started. we have had a great time with all of you who have come out the past few weeks to join us. We have a pretty full schedule of fun events, food sharing, interesting discussions, volunteer and community building opportunities. most of our events this summer are on saturdays, but please notice the few friday or sunday things. we are also having a farm class on wednesdays - call or text alice if you are interested in participating in that.

each of the interns chose a vegetable to learn about and be responsible for. so no, we do not have cucumbers or melons ripe yet.

hi everyone,

NO STRAWBERRY PICKING THIS SUNDAY, JUNE 4.

my apologies! the strawberries fooled me and they won't be ready for
picking this sunday.
probably the first time we will be open for extra pickers will be next
saturday at our summer kick-off (Sat June 10, 4-7pm).

POTLUCK this SATURDAY, June 3: Philosophy of the Catholic Worker Movement.
if you want to read up in advance for the discussion, or just do a
little research to see if you would be interested in coming, check out

hi friends,

Our season schedule is not totally figured out, but we do have some dates set and we have a potluck coming up this saturday. I am sending our rough draft so that you are able to have a few days warning for this week. the more elaborated and decisive schedule will be following soon. the bold events are sure things, and the tba-s could change. We are trying to have one event a month that is more kid friendly than talking about serious issues. these are from 4-7pm. All summer events are at Mustard Seed Community Farm - 366 W Ave.

This coming week we will be delivering our first boxes of veggies. Here is the CSA sheet made by Claire Boeke.

There are lots of leafy things at the beginning of the season because they grow the quickest and like cool weather. Over the next few weeks there will be radishes and sweet hakurai turnips in the box. The greens are edible and a little spicy. Both the root and the greens will keep longer if they are separated, so cut the tops off and bag them separately in your fridge.

hello friends,

just 3 bits of information:

1. tomorrow's harvest training (friday 5/19, 7-10am) has been cancelled due to an extremely unpleasant weather forecast.

however

2. there is an excellent opportunity to come out to the farm during nicer weather on Sunday 5/21, 1-4pm.
we could totally use all hands. bring your friends, your kids, your neighbors. bring your bible study group, your knitting group, your support group. we will be planting and weeding and harvesting asparagus and more.

hi farm team and friends,

the work on the farm is seriously intense right now!

we are planting our warm season crops and the ones we planted earlier
are starting to need weeding. Our intern Claire is moving out to the
farm on tuesday and the others are coming next monday and there's
still a lot more home preparation and kitchen prep to do to switch to
our summer living formation. also, we are starting to sell at farmers
market next saturday and i am way behind on the things i need to do.
the weather has been beautiful! the work is exciting! i am just
falling behind.

dear friends,

(i wrote this last week, but then forgot to post it. oops!)
it is a lovely morning during a lovely spring.
There is so much going on at the farm right now!

HARVEST TRAINING AND CSA: next week we will begin training our harvest
crews on Tuesday and Friday mornings and we will be ready to start our
full CSA and donation deliveries on the week of May 23. If anyone
would like to join in these trainings, please let me know. We learn
all the jobs of the harvest, and harvest a few crops for the workers
to take home. If you do this training, you would become an extra
