2014 Spring CSA is here!

Whew....another year of farming - I think I am starting to get the hang of things now. It's about 7:15am here on Red Clover Farms, and I am just getting in from the fields after harvesting this years first CSA crops. It is always so joyous - the first harvest. The crying usually comes later in the season - but fingers crossed for a great year.

So let's see - so much has happened this year - we expanded our Red Clover Kitchen at The All-American Valley General Store - now serving great paninis, salads, soups, pies & more. Just opened our walk-up ice-cream window and will be doing late night steamed cheeseburgers and hotdogs for the summer months. We got picnic tables outside of The General Store for warm summer days. Open mic on Wednesdays is filled with so much talent from around the state - 6:30-10pm. We just started The Strand Ole Opry at The Historic Strand Theater in downtown Seymour - and put on a country bluegrass show once a month - check our web at redcloverblossom.com for details. Red Clover Day Spa and Apothecary just opened across from The General Store - we do facials and massage...We have live talk radio with Gary Christopher every Thursday night from 7-9pm. The All-American Valley talk can be found on ctwsr.com. I was just on channel 3 news.....

Oh, there is just so much goodness that I will be writing about in the future - but let's start this year by coming up with some great ideas of what to do with all of the early spring greens!!! The look on everyones face is the same every year on the first CSA pick-up ----what to do with greens, and where are the peppers and corn???

That's what my grandma would say to me in polish when I was impatient when I was little - it means "Wait a minute!" Everything in due time - eggplant, field tomatoes, corm, cucumbers, peppers - they are all coming - but just not yet! Ok, onto the greens...
