For those of you who purchased a CSA from Sunflower's Farmer Max, please check out the guest post below.
Howdy Sassparillas,
This is your farmer typing. It's been a rainy day, and it was nice to get out of the muck for a while and write to you all. It would make my day if you grabbed a beer or a lemonade, and sat down to read this most recent of the farm blog posts...
This chronicle of the first month has important implications for what the first few weeks of deliveries will shape up to be for you all. It's the nitty gritty - I didn't pull too many punches about what the experience has been like up there. But then again, you don't want anyone to sugar-coat what goes in your mouth anymore. You've made it clear with your financial support that you have a different vision of what you want to grace your plate, and the plates of people you share a meal with.
This is farming. And it's our first year in business. The first spring, really, for the apprentices and I to be out on our own. Although in the first few weeks of June you won't exactly be able to invite your whole neighborhood in to feast, we will make it up to you all in time. I'm thinking of the months of July, August, September and October when these rains of water turn into rains of fleshy fruits. It will come.
Thanks for bearing with us on this journey, and I look forward to seeing many of you again (and some of you for the first time) super, super soon!
Peas and Purple Carrots,
Max
