We have been LOVING the warmer weather and sunnier skies on the farm this week! Transplanting flowers and veggies from greenhouses to fields is fully underway, which brings hope for the summer season. The animals have been loving the warmer weather as well! The piglets got moved to a fully outside space this week and are happy to have more room to roam around. Our beloved farm cat Maple also had her kittens a few weeks ago and soon they will be out and about to enjoy the sunshine. We have started seeing a few flower blooms in the greenhouses and it’s bringing a lot of happiness and light to our farm crews this week! We hope you have been able to soak up some sunshine this week as well!

In your CSA boxes this week, you continue to find some fresh spring greens from our greenhouses, as well as some of the first root veggies of the season! You will also find a lovely and unique herb called lemon thyme. Lemon thyme is an incredibly fragrant herb that has a springtime lemon scent and can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It can also be used as a garnish or in vases around your home to keep it smelling fresh and clean. Lemon thyme’s unique scent can also be used as a bug repellent! See some recipes that incorporate lemon thyme in various ways below.
