We don't have added costs of transport, packaging and advertising when you buy through CSAs, the farmer receives a larger portion of the food dollar.

Rainy spring to date.

"Officials with the local Farm Service Agency expect the state will declare much of upstate New York a disaster, following three months of very wet weather. The steady rains have prevented farmers from getting all of their crops planted."


There was a threat of frost after Memorial Day Weekend this year - most unusual - just escaped it - 34 degrees!


Our planting has been slowed in the beginning but we are moving ahead - 630 feet rows of tomatoes planted so far with lots of varieties and more planting to follow!


As a CSA member you share crop losses with farmers - but I think we are going to have a good season despite the delayed start.
