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 6 Family work day, too.



Nick is good with tools and was kind enough
 to start our pallet table for us.


Room for plants to grow. Florencio will keep it watered for us
after we plant it with plants from Lisa's yard.


Our old fruit stand that served us well in the 1960s and 1970s.
We decided to "help it" fall all the way down. Jared and Nick think about the demo work.

The fruit stand is down and parts being hauled away.
Jared and Stephanie work in the rain. What a family.

Picking raspberries in the rain. Nothing slows them down.

Week 6. Straight neck yellow summer squash.


Black plastic mulch heats up the soil for speeder
production. Squash like warm soil.

Florencio harvests and washes lettuce.
Small zucchini with LARGE 
blossom still attached.

Beautiful Red Sails leaf lettuce.

Orange beet sneaking up out of the soil.

Red beet can't decide if it wants to grow 
above or below. Might be a hard spot in the 
soil right under this one.

Onions.

A happy sunflower that came up all by itself. When plants
do this they are called "volunteers".
A bird probably "planted" it last year in this spot.

Silvans are loaded! Laurie H. (box 4) made our picking
stands for us. Less bending needs to happen now.
A good thing.

Carrots, yum.

Young Chinese Cabbage.

Red Brussels sprouts. Little guys right above
where the branches hook on.

Green Brussels sprouts forming. 

Purple cabbage.

More volunteer sunflowers, but we can't stand removing them.

Red and orange beet tops. Yummy to eat, too.

Chinese astilbe (we think) that is
so pretty in the bouquets.

Toasting with a "cheddar" cauliflower and the day's iced coffee.
Berries and roses make the table!

Lisa and Anna feed us well. Peanut butter brownies for
our afternoon pick me up. Oh my gosh.

Berries and cheddar cauliflower.
And no, it doesn't taste like cheese. :)


My great nephew loves everything!
