Back in Business!

We are feeling strong this year and excited to be back in Chicago and Manteno area with our Full Season Vegetable Shares PLUS Apples PLUS Honey PLUS Home Delivery. We aim to please.

This is our favorite time of year, full of promise and plantings. We plant all the way into August. Since both July and August have the additional weed pressure, those months can get a little...intense.  May and June--not so bad! Early this month we welcomed our full time intern Lucy who hails direct from the New York City Farmers Market scene. She is re-acclimating to the midwest where she grew up and we are grateful. If you are a Worker Shareholder, you will get to know her well!

The following photos are just some I snapped (tapped) the last couple of weeks to show signs of summer greens and the beginnings of heirloom tomatoes and more.

Spinach! 
Worker Shareholders get eggs as a bonus this month.

Baby kale and spinach mix!

Salad mixes abound!
