CSA
General Info
Congratulations!!
You are a member of the first ever CSA in
Colfax! As you all know spring is upon is and the weather is warming up
beautifully. We have been busy in the fields prepping rows and planting,
weeding, watering, and beginning to harvest. As we are now only a little over a
month away from the delivery of your first CSA box, I thought it was high time
to get in touch with y’all via an email list. We are delighted that the CSA is
now full and the word is continually spreading. In order for us to hold your
place a deposit of half the total payment is due the first of June. The
remainder of the payment can be paid at the first CSA box pick-up on July 2nd
at Café Luna. Payment can be dropped off at Café Luna.
Payment
breakdown:
$210 deposit
due by June 1st and remaining $210 due at first pick=up on July 2nd.

News
Despite
having to battle an early onslaught of cucumber beetles on the first squash
plants, and a mystery pest who ate many of our seedlings, things are shaping up
quite nicely out at Bakbraken Acres this season. Many thanks to Farmer John who
has been spending many hours on the tractor, preparing the soil to grow lots of
goodness all season long. And Mary, the master of irrigation and all things
farm related! The onions are beginning to bulb out and we have more radishes
than we know what to do with! We are still delivering bi-weekly harvests to the
farm stand at Café Luna so don’t forget to stop in and get your fresh local
veggies before the CSA starts.
We welcome
any and all questions and look forward to feeding and getting to know you all
throughout the season!
Many Thanks,
Erica Miller
