Davyd and Jenny took some time away from the farm to go on vacation and Margaret and Jonathan willingly stepped in and kept the place running while they were away. Through two days of massive rain showers and following days of heat, they kept the sheep happy, bees fed, chickens safe, and gardens watered. Not to mention putting together everyone's CSA shares. Lots of picking, processing, and packaging.

Here is what went out:

Week #5

  • 2 bags lettuce
  • 1 bag kale
  • Loaf Beehive bread
Total value: $18

Week #6

  • 2 bags lettuce
  • 1 bag kale
  • Loaf Beehive bread
  • Garden herbs- cilantro, dill, chives, & mint
Total value: $22

Week #7

Davyd and Jenny return!

  • 3 bags lettuce
  • 2 bags kale
  • Broccoli (Farmington pick-up)
  • Garden herbs- cilantro, dill, chives, & mint
  • Jam (Litchfield pick-up)
  • Bouquet (Litchfield pick-up)
  • Eggs (1 doz. Farmington pick-up, half doz. Litchfield pick-up)
Total value: $38
