This Is A Good Day For...

Attending your Church with family in tow.
Curling up with your favorite book, and listening to the soft rain as it falls.
Making cookies with the children.
Fixing something "really" special and soothing for tonight's dinner.
Renting a family movie and watching it with your family.
Getting out the home movies of vacations past and enjoying it with family.
Taking a nap.
Sitting on your front porch and visiting with friends in the neighborhood.
Enjoying every moment!

Farm News:
It's really wet and the ground is truly soaked here. Right now we could use a bit of dry weather, but we are very thankful that our plants in the field are in raised beds right not, or covered by hoophouses. This has been our wettest spring in recent years! A bit of this kind of weather would be appreciated along about late July or August! But you take what nature deals you.

We have another field ready for planting, the mulch is layed down, but it's too wet to get in there to plant, so we wait. One thing about it, you dare not try to work in a wet field, it would take a lot of work to undo the damage you do to the soil if you work the field while it's wet. We learned that early on!

In about two weeks our Summer harvest CSA begins and we are excited about seeing past CSA shareholders and meeting our new shareholders! Our CSA has doubled for this summer, and we are seeing a real interest in folks wanting to know more about the food they put on their tables. We are happy that there is more interest in eating foods grown in the region, rather than buying food that has traveled many miles before reaching our kitchens. I don't know about you, but this makes a lot of sense to me. The longer the food has been off the vine, plant, bush etc,. the more nutrition is lost. You can have flavor, variety, and nutrition if you eat from a farm in your area. Plus, you help support a small farm that grows food for us all to enjoy!

We are looking forward to another CSA season at Doe Run Farm! See you soon!
