Summer Shares Available Now!!!

The new website is live.  All farm information, blog updates, and membership registration will now be available from a single spot:

http://www.zoegarden.com/

Head over there and sign up for the new and improved 2012 Spring/Summer season.  Longer at 24 weeks and bigger with a meat option!

Winter - Week 20 (the last)

Big things afoot the last couple weeks.  In addition to new babies and season endings, we've done a website revamp, decided to have a longer season (24 weeks) starting earlier (April 15th), put together the sign up for the summer, and written an article for a magazine.  Not bad for a volunteer staff!  The signups should be available in a day or two at http://www.zoegarden.com/, we're handling them all in-house this season, and I'll let you know as soon as there's more info.

Thank you all so much for being with us through our first winter CSA season.  David learned a lot, especially about getting more variety in the ground in the late summer so that there's a large enough volume of greens to get into the winter.  Each season a little better!  We're looking forward to having you in the summer.

spinach
banana squash
onions
potatoes
turnips
beets
parsnips
shallots
garlic
frozen fruits (either berries or peaches, depending)
microgreens and bean sprouts

MEAT: ground beef, lamb leg or loin


No pictures again this week.  It just doesn't seem so urgent when the vegetable variety is smaller than the summer.  Which is the case historically, too.  The vegetables that are in season through the winter are far fewer in number and variety -- it must have been really boring and bland in the February of 1732!

Winter - Week 19 (Feb 15)

Hey all,

I'd love to post the produce list for the week, but Granato's is holding my share hostage.  I got there before closing, but they had closed half an hour early due to a computer problem.  Oh well!  I'll post tomorrow.

Tuesday delivery delayed until Wednesday

David will be unable to make the Tuesday drop this week due to family medical needs.  The Tuesday drops will occur on Wednesday instead.  Let me know if this causes a problem for you, and the volunteers will work something out.

Thanks!  Dusty

Winter - Week 18 (Feb 07)

Sorry, I didn't get a chance to post yesterday -- there was a lot of running around to be done.

Spinach
Turnips
Potatoes (red and gold)
Parsnips
Beets
Garlic
Onions
Shallots
Microgreens
Pickles (!!!)

MEAT: ground beef


We hope to have the signups available through our new webpage for the summer season by the end of next week.  Weekly prices aren't increasing, but David is shooting for a longer season this year (25 instead of 20 weeks).

Quick survey

Hey everybody,

Three weeks left on the shares (and we're still adding members as you all talk about your veggies!).  We're looking to make improvements for  next winter and for the coming spring.  Sign ups will be available for the summer shares soon, but for now we just want a little feedback from the members.

Could you email me (produce@zoegarden.com) or leave a comment about the CSA generally, the shares, the variety, the timing, the quality, and especially the meat share?  We're debating over putting meat into the shares for the first 4-5 weeks of the spring, while it is cold enough to leave safely, and we'd like to gauge the enthusiasm.

Thanks,
Dusty and the Zoe's team
