A handful of members made it out for Member Farm Day May 14th to see the progress so far this Spring, get their hands dirty, and to experience some of what it takes to get local produce from a small farm to our share boxes. A couple of members planted several rows of radicchio and Chinese broccoli. Those of us with small kids took to the less delicate task of pulling up sunchokes. A few hours squatting in the dirt gave us more appreciation for the hard work that goes into our weekly deliveries. David welcomes member visits and involvement and is more than willing to answer any questions about farming, vegetables, and recipes.
