2024 Newsletter, CSA Box, CSA Shares, Event, NewsletterBy Kyle ThomJuly 29, 2024

Hello Members! Week eleven is here and we are still in our peak tomato season here at the farm! We have been picking them daily to keep them in the best condition we can. We almost never refrigerate our tomatoes and i would suggest also not doing that unless they are cut open or overripe…

Week #10 – 2024 CSA Season

2024 Newsletter, CSA Box, CSA Shares, NewsletterBy Kyle ThomJuly 22, 2024

Hey there CSA members!  The tomatoes are pouring in and so many perfect cherry tomatoes coming out of the high tunnel we can barely pick them as fast as they ripen now. Tomatoes are my absolute favorite crop and we spend a lot of hours maintaining them since they’re started in March. I think homegrown…

Hello CSA Members! Week nine marks the middle of the CSA season for all of us. I will be sending an email with second payment instructions to those of you who split your payments. We are still battling the weeds this week of course also and working hard to harvest all the vegetables. My daughter…

2024 Newsletter, CSA Box, CSA Shares, NewsletterBy Kyle ThomJuly 9, 2024

Welcome to week eight everyone! We are getting a nice early tomato crop which is weeks earlier than last year and tasting amazing. This week on the farm I finished mulching the new strawberry field beds and got it free of all weeds! We also got the old field cleaned up and we will hopefully…

Week #7 – 2024 CSA Season

2024 Newsletter, CSA Box, CSA Shares, NewsletterBy Kyle ThomJuly 2, 2024

Welcome to week #7 everyone! It should be noted that since Fitchburg Market was questionable to even be going and we expect very slow traffic on a holiday night………..We are going to move the Fitchburg drop site to West Madison at 305 North meadow Lane for the fourth of July. All shares will be dropped…

Week #6 – 2024 CSA Season

2024 Newsletter, CSA Box, CSA Shares, NewsletterBy Kyle ThomJune 24, 2024

Hello CSA Members! It was so hot out this last week but we were lucky we got some rain and the only damage was an old rotten branch came down and took out some of our jalapeño plants. This week we harvested a lot of early summer crops for your shares and did a lot…

Week #5 – 2024 CSA Season

2024 Newsletter, CSA Box, CSA Shares, NewsletterBy Kyle ThomJune 17, 2024

Hello CSA members! Week five is on the way with higher temps that will be roasting us in the fields in Southeastern Wisconsin. We will plant a few spicy peppers. The heat drove our strawberry crop to come in fast this year and they have done really well this year but they are coming to…

Week #4 – 2024 CSA Season

2024 Newsletter, CSA Box, CSA Shares, NewsletterBy Kyle ThomJune 11, 2024

Hello CSA Members!  June and summer is here shortly as we finish up the last few weeks of spring with some great produce for you! We’ve got a great crop mix this week for you this week and between all the harvesting, and washing of crops coming in we have spent our time weeding after…

Week #3 – 2024 CSA 

2024 Newsletter, CSA Box, CSA Shares, NewsletterBy Kyle ThomJune 3, 2024

Hello CSA members! This week on the farm we did so much, picking berries for hours on end and mowing, weedwackin, hand weeding, trellising and pruning tomatoes, post harvest washing and harvesting and starting micro batches. This wet weather has made for fast weed growth and increased insect pressure. We got a new strawberry field…

Week #2 – 2024 CSA Season

2024 Newsletter, CSA Box, CSA Shares, NewsletterBy Kyle ThomMay 27, 2024

Hello CSA members,  Week one had us washing and packing a lot of fresh greens! This week will be very similar with plenty of greens still in season and the late spring/early summer crops not quite ready yet. We got the first strawberries and they are sizing up slowly but surely but still a little…
