We are accepting new members for the 2012 CSA!
Please join us and receive an abundance of fresh, locally grown food, and connect with the land that nourishes you.
Beyond the wonderful produce and weekly news you receive, supporting small farms keeps them alive, protects the diversity and availability of local foods, healthy ecosystems, and a landscape of beautiful agriculture.
“I just wanted to let you know that out of the several CSAs we have belonged to – you all are the best. I love your positive updates and little newsletter and we are loving the share every week. Even my teenagers are liking the delicious salads we have been making and I usually have to get them to choke down their greens. Thanks so much!” — Colleen, Washington, DC
We ate a lot more greens and were more creative about using vegetables so we could eat everything up in a week. Even after the CSA has ended we are buying more vegetables because we got used to having so many to cook with.
With your Farm of Peace CSA share you will eat with the seasons. Our Spring planting schedule includes mesclun mix, head lettuces, spinach, arugula, spring greens, peas, scallions, garlic scapes, radishes, sweet white turnips, early beets, cabbages, swiss chard, kohlrabi, broccoli and herbs. As summer approaches your share will begin to include varieties of: tomatoes, green beans, summer squash, sweet peppers, hot peppers, cucumbers, potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, carrots, beets, green garlic, salad greens, cantaloupes, watermelons and a variety of herbs (parsley, basil, oregano, cilantro, fennel, chives).
