Springtime is for CSA’s!
Spring is officially here! Not that that means much for Colorado, but it’s here! We are busy planting, fixing, planting some more. The ground might thaw out one of these days and we might be able to almost get potatoes in the ground. Other vegetables will soon follow. Boulder and Longmont farmers markets have begun!
We will have a few things to sell at the market. Come out and Support local! Hopefully the sun will be out! They’re asking what sustains you. The answer to that is our customers. We would not be here without your support every spring, summer, and fall. We love what we do, and our customers allow us to continue to provide affordable food along the Front Range.

When picking up, we will provide the basket and you bring it with you each week and PICK OUT YOUR OWN VEGGIES! We do not pre-package anything! Walk through, pick out what you want and that is it! If you are a canner or a freezer or have extra company, you can double up at any time. First week to the last. While some things go all year, some crops are seasonal. You will go home with a weeks? worth of food and be supporting local agriculture all season!
