Here We Go!

asparagus!

Things are swinging into high gear at Whipstone, Nation!  We have been busy picking produce for our first CSA (community supported agriculture), which is this Tuesday.  Cosmically, May 1st happens to be the day Our Gal Friday was born 25 years ago.  Happy Birthday, Steph and also to her pops, Steve!  As a gift from the farm, she will be accompanying Shanti to the CSA drop-off point in Prescott.  Our items will include a variation of the following (read- these are not guaranteed items):  salad mix (8 varieties of lettuce), green garlic, spinach, asparagus, radishes, rapini, eggs, chives, basil, sorrel, cilantro...
Basil
Rapini



If a CSA member cannot pick up their share on Tuesday, s/he may stop by the farm on Wednesday and grab their vegetables from our new farm stand...

 Nearly a half year in the making, our farm stand is almost complete thanks in large part to Kohlrabi King and the many others that assisted on the project: Senior O’Brien for his formidable carpentry skills; Russell Crawford and his dad for building the beautiful interior shelving; Ryan Bort, a cohort of yours truly from the UDub days, who helped with staining the edifice over the course of multiple days during his short tenure at Whipstone; and, of course, the whole Whipstone family.  Those desiring fresh grown produce at any point in the season, regardless if you are a current member of the Whipstone community, may now visit the farm stand to fill up on goodies.
