We practice sustainability at the farm. Crop rotation, use of drip irrigation and re-using the flower water each week are some of the ways we are being kind to the earth.

We have two harvest boxes available for this coming 2019 season as of May 19th. If interested please email Lorrie at shadymaplefarmcsa@gmail.com and leave me a note. I will send you information. 18 weeks of fresh produce, herbs, berries and tree fruits when they are in season along with a weekly bouquet of beautiful flowers for $500.
We do have just flower subscriptions available.
A Full Flower Share is 18 weeks of gorgeous bouquets for $230 or a Half Share, every other week for a total of 9 weeks of flowers for $115.
Please email Lorrie at shadymaplefarmcsa@gmail.com if you are interested.

Pick up would be on Tuesdays between 4:00 - 6:00 pm at Shady Maple Farm, 8005 Portland Rd. N.E. Salem, Oregon. Our season lasts from May 28 to September 24, 2019.

Week 1 At the Farm May 29, 2012

Lemon Grass is placed in everyone's box.  Morning of the 29th.

Each box today will include:
Arugula, Asparagus, Basil, Chives, Cucumbers, Flowers, Leek(s), Lemon Grass, Lettuce, Oregano, Radishes, Swiss Chard, Tea and Parsnips. Also a sprig of Sweet Cicely.  Some might have Zucchini, Rhubarb, and/or Artichokes. If you didn't get some of the last three for Week 1, you will in the future.

Arugula bundled and labeled. Still morning.

Lisa is in charge of flower picking and arranging. 2:00ish.

This David Austin rose, you can't believe the smell. Wow.

Peonies. So pretty.

Delphinium.
A rainbow of radishes.
Boxes are full, flowers will be added as people
pick their bunches. We like to keep them in water as  long as possible.  3:45.


Flower bouquets wait to be selected.
Much like pick up basketball ...
My buddy Sheri arrived first to pick up
her box, she is number 12!  4:05.

A completed box.

Another one.

Finally dry enough and the equipment has
been borrowed (thanks Andrew and Scott) so the last rototilling took place on our first harvest box day.
Now Florencio can plant to his heart's content.

Debbie and Lisa are sharing box 3. Yippee!

4 boxes make their way toward the other end of town. 6:08.

Sweet Cicely. Sugar substitute with a bit of licorice taste.
Thanks for the picture Debbie!
