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.

Planting Day March 5

My niece Anna and her young man prepare holes to drop seeds.

Additional helpers enjoy the warmth of the greenhouse. In the back corner, my sister Lisa, nearest to the front is my friend Mary, 2nd from the left is my mother in law, Mary, in purple is my cousin Faith. Lots of seeds spread out on the table to plant. Chatter with family is fun, occasional rain on the greenhouse roof. 

My great niece who lives at The Farm, has been helping! Look at those farmgirl hands.

This plethora of seeds await planting.  

Florencio fills up seed starting flats with a soilless, sterile seed starting mix. He wets the mix as part of the mix repels moisture so it needs to be pre-watered.

Dirt movers at work. :)

Tiny coleus seeds.
