Notes from the farm in April! — Long Island CSA Farm Shares


It’s hard to believe that we’re just 10 weeks out from the start of our CSAdeliveries. Our greenhouse seedlings are growing rapidly this time of year and we’ll be transplanting the first round out into the fields in a few weeks. Thank you to everyone who has joined our CSA so far.  We still have some spots available at our pick-up locations across Long Island, so it’s not too late to get your share of the bounty of the season!
 

THIS IS HOW IT BEGINS…

Many of the crops we grow begin their journey to your table by being planted into soil inside our greenhouse.  The seeds germinate and the plants grow up to become “seedlings” before we move them to their final growing spot outside in the field.  This time of year we’re seeding everything from lettuce to fennel, leeks, kales, onions and something new for us and our CSA members…celery! 

All of the seeds we purchase are Certified Organic and non-GMO. We choose varieties for flavor and for what grows best in our climate.  Our favorite seed companies include High Mowing Organic Seeds & Johnny’s Selected Seeds.
