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 1
st 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...

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.
