Meanwhile at the farm: Garlic!
John sent an image of the garlic shoots at Circle Brook Farm today - and it makes me yearn for the first pickup which is about eight weeks away. And tomorrow, April 15, is the LAST DAY TO GET EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT!

From the greenhouse to the fields: onions, leeks, and shallots are ready to be planted out!
Have you seen the new Newarker yet?
The Newarker just released its second issue on Thursday, and contains an article on CSA’s. It describes what makes a real CSA, touches lightly on influences for the movement, and describes how the CSA concept goes smartly around today’s dominant corporate, industrial food production/distribution system — how CSA’s let the small people win for a change (consumers and farmers).
March at the farm
It is March and you might be wondering what our farmer, John Krueger, and his team at Circle Brook Farm are doing? Here is how John describes what is generally happening on the farm in spring:
Spring has sprung
Dandelions! Crocuses, hyacinths and tulips - spring has finally and clearly arrived. And of course (those we saw budding for a while): there are cherry blossoms!
Take a stroll in the neighborhood, feel the change on your skin, smell the spring in the air - and take some snapshots of budding green and the first flowers of the season. Maybe more therapeutic then ever before after the pandemic winter of 20/21.
