Week One | Fresh Bounty & Farm Updates
Dear CSA Members, Welcome to the first week of our Late Summer CSA! 🌿🍅🫐 We are delighted to have both new and returning members join us for this exciting 8-week season of fresh, locally-grown produce. Each week, you will receive a carefully curated box of seasonal goodies, along with insights into the farm’s activities and a selection of our favorite recipes to try with your produce.
What’s Happening on the Farm
We are in the peak of our summer growing season, juggling harvesting, planning, and planting for fall, which has been taking up the majority of our time! Our kitchen team has been working their magic on all summer harvests, creating new varieties of cooking vinegars like our Currant Tomato Vinegar, Strawberry Tarragon, and a few more that will stay a secret until launch day!
Exciting news: Our Stone Hollow Farmstead 2025 Pre-order for Dahlia Tubers and Cuttings are going live this week on our website! This is always a large undertaking for us, and it's a relief once all the varieties and details are up and available. Don't miss out on securing your favorites for next year.
Weekly Updates and Recipes
Each week, you will receive an email with a link to the current week’s blog post. On the blog, you'll find updates and stories from the farm, the full contents list of the current weeks box, along with direct links to recipes we have tried or are looking forward to trying this week. We hope these recipes inspire you to make the most of your CSA box!
Visit Our FarmStand
Don’t forget to visit our FarmStand, where we have a variety of offerings perfect for gardening, hosting, and seasonal gifts. Our new inventory includes exciting products you won’t want to miss. The FarmStand is open Monday through Friday from 9am to 6pm, and Saturdays from 7am to 4pm.
