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.

Week 4 Greens + 1st tomato + gorgeous flowers

Today's contents. Remember every box comes with ONE bouquet. I put two in the photos to show our variety.

Bryan and Anna package thyme.

Colorful chard stems peeking out.
Lettuce chilling with the hope of critters coming out.

And it worked!


The celery is loving this weather.

Probably the last of this year's rhubarb.

Asparagus drinking up water.

Kale awaits its soaking tub.

Lisa's sidekick naps in his own little hut.

Grams stripping leaves off flowers and chatting with Lisa while she arranges her beautiful bouquets.

Veronica, aka Speedwell. Such a pretty blue flower.

Left to right: side view of foxglove, pale orange yarrow, dark and light orange roses, purple allium all together for a stunning combination.

A closer look.

This dahlia is called Crazy Legs. Light color on the top of the petals, dark underneath. Love it paired with these roses.

White frothy Goat's Beard with delicate orange roses. A great combination.

Heather Marie dahlias with pink Veronica, aka Speedwell, and the white bloom of a Hosta. One sherbet colored rose in the bottom right hand corner.

Blue Speedwell, white roses, white Canterbury Bells and a white Pincushion flower.

Blue Pincushion flower, white double Feverfew, pretty orange roses and an ornamental thistle, Sea Holly.

Blue Speedwell, white double Feverfew, pale yellow yarrow, the first yellow lilies.

Blue Canterbury Bells, dark purple oregano, soft gray Lamb's Ear, pale Foxglove, with a soft pink and yellow dahlia.

Pale pink hydrangea with blue salvia and pink Speedwell.

The underneath side of these roses is very dark. The bud that hasn't opened yet almost looks like it's from a different rose bush. Once they start opening their paler orange side shows. Goat's Beard sets these roses off nicely.

Another look at Crazy Legs dahlias and same colored roses.

These hydrangeas remind me of cotton balls.

A few darker pink hydrangeas.

Soft, fuzzy Lamb's Ears in the bucket of cool water.

Stunning yellow lilies with dark purple lupine.

A little bit different angle. The lupine shows up better.

Pale blue delphinium, pinkish yellow rose and white Feverfew.


Pale blue delphinium, white foxglove and the largest dahlia to date, Maniac! Isn't it fun???
White Pincushion flower, tubular dark rose Cape Fuchsia and white Hosta flowers go well with the variegated rose.
Lisa and Anna trimming in the flower beds. The VERY TALL lilies are getting close to blooming. Lisa will have to reach UP to pick them!

Today's boxes either had a small box of raspberries, Loganberries, Siskiyous or Sylvanberries. This one has raspberries with Mammoth leaf basil on the left.

Today's box also has cilantro, lavender and asparagus.

This year's first tomatoes. Yippie!

Today's reminder board.

Today's list of items.

See you next time on the blog.
