SHARE BALANCE LOOKUP

U-Pick Items Available Now

Times open: Tuesday’s-Saturday
9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

While we allow you to pick as much as you would like, just to please be mindful that we are sharing these goodies with all of our CSA shareholders

Greens in the main field D as you drive in from Old Marlboro Pike, this in front of the three large barns
When you look out the field the crops are as follows: Collards, Lacinato Kale, Red Kale, Chard, and to harvest you will break off or cut the outer larger leaves leaving the smaller ones to size up for continued harvest.
Strawberries-located right across from the CSA pick-up in the tall fenced in field, with the uncovered greenhouse structure in the middle.
Probably the last week- so get here while they are still around!
We will have red signs leading the way to gates on either side of the field.

Items below are currently located in the Flower and Herb Garden right next to the Clagett Farm CSA pick-up/Farm Store
Basil
harvest gently- DO NOT CUT THIS PLANT AT THE BASE- pinch off the tips of the leaves only! If you cut too low it will kill the plant.

Parsley- only cut the top few inches and leave behind a good portion of the plant to regrow all season. DO NOT CUT AT THE BASE! We have lost a few due to low cuts in the herb garden!

Also note much more Basil and Parsley can be found across from the large parking area opposite the herb garden. It will also have a red sign marking the start of the row in the large field” G2”

Sage- harvest only the fresh tips, not the woody areas, has purple flowers currently, that are also edible
Sorrel-harvest at the base and will regrow
Chives- harvest at the base and will regrow, has purple ball shaped flowers currently, that are also edible
Calendula Flowers (edible)- to harvest just pluck off the flowers and leave plant to keep growing more
Other cut flowers as they start to bloom for your vase at home

Farm Updates:

What a season so far, we have been already using every container we have to keep up with our harvest amounts.

The haze last week from wildfires up north and the lack of rain here at the farm, certainly had us feeling overwhelmed. Yet our field tour however keeps us optimistic with what we are still able to keep growing as a farm team.

The summer tasks are still stacking high and Fall seeding believe it our not is right around the corner for us.

But for the next few weeks, let’s just savor the last bit of Spring we have. Make sure every green you take home you start saying your goodbye’s until Fall when it’s cooler again.

All the summer crops are looking amazing so far, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, okra…- we expect them to start trickling in after the July 4th week and building up the full August summer spread.

**Again don’t forget, for the holiday and to get some field tasks completed, please note we will not have shares the week of July 4
NO SHARES JULY 5- JULY 8
