Our inaugural season as a CSA

Ken Meier started Shady Maple Farm in 1960 and ran it until his passing in 2011.  We hope to continue our Dad’s love of gardening and good, healthy food through our Shady Maple Farm CSA.  Shady Maple Farm is still the home of a wide variety of fruit trees, berries, and perennial vegetables.  The greenhouses are up and running.  Our first “starts” are in place and more will be seeded.  Transplanting and direct sowing will begin soon.  We hope you will join us in our inaugural season and allow us to continue the Shady Maple Farm tradition:  a wide variety of quality fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers.  Each week you will receive a harvest box filled with the latest bounty from the garden.

Below is a sample of what we intend to grow and provide:

Fruits 

apples (crab, king, Granny Smith, red delicious)

melons (cantaloupe, honeydew, water)

table grapes

      black berries (Marion, Kotata, Sylvan, Siskiyous, Triple Crown, Waldo)
