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 10 Squash and flowers

Lessons in harvesting safely.
Especially when sharp objects are involved.

Family from New Jersey visits The Farm
on harvest day. Of course she helped out!

"Look what I picked all by myself!" 
He did a nice, safe, job of it too.

Harvesting success. :)

The table is done for now. We will add wood
on the ends to make it look more finished.

Lisa's flower collection today.

I get wrapped up in the beauty of
the flowers. Can you tell?

Looks like velvet.

A calla lily among the dahlias.

Roses and carnations.

Reminds me of orange sherbet.


Pale beauties.

Sunflower variety.


Roses, roses, roses.

Reaching for the sky.

Sun kissed rose.


Reminds me of peppermint candies.

Love dahlias. This is Grams' favorite.

Or maybe it was this one...

Or maybe this one. This picture doesn't come close
to capturing the richness of this dahlia.

Our first potato harvest. Yukon Gold.

Bell Peppers.

Non-bell peppers.
Some are warmer than others.

Lunch is served, on the new table, too!

Baby's breath adorns the bouquets today.

Lunch from the garden, except for the bacon. Stir fried zucchini, eggplant, yellow straightneck, onions
and kale at the last minute (all in bacon drippings). Grated cheese to sprinkle as we wish is nearby.

So very delicious.

Love this.

Inside a delicate rose.

Stephanie and the twins planted these. So sweet!
