This is the last week of Spring Share at Wild Hare. As we say goodbye to the “off season,” (HA!) and head into Summer next week, I want to say a big THANKS to all of you who help us keep Wild Hare growing. Even after more than a dozen Springs under our belts, Mark and I still marvel at just how much is already in the works for before June arrives. Spring is just plain hard, and May is a marathon in its own right. While our weeks are punctuated by longer days, harvests of fresh greens and portioning out the last contents of our root cellar, we're also setting a whole lot of growth in motion for the seasons at hand and those beyond. Those Winter Squash that make up the centerpiece of our Fall? They're already in the ground, as are several beds of Parsnips. The Brussels Sprouts have already been seeded, as have the storage Cabbages and the like for the frosty months in early 2027! I share this, not only because I find it completely mind boggling and overwhelming. I share it, because it illustrates so beautifully what is so unique about our year-round growing model and wonderful community.

Being part of a CSA, no matter the season, is the ultimate way of "paying it forward" for both farmers and eaters, and I thank my lucky stars that this enormous project isn't something we face alone. To the members of our crew, who are THE VERY BEST PEOPLE and make vegetables happen in all sorts of weather, and to customers and CSA members like you who commit to eating seasonally throughout the year, we are beyond grateful. Your support makes a huge difference to our farm and our family, especially at times like these, when the stakes feel high and the cost of operating a local farm are on the rise. Thank you for supporting what we do!

As a quick reminder, the Summer CSA season begins NEXT WEEK on June 2nd, and starting on June 6th, the farmstand will be also open on Saturdays from 9-2 for shopping and CSA Pickups. If you’ve been picking up on Tuesdays or Wednesdays this Spring but would prefer to switch to Saturday pickups over the Summer, please send me a quick reply or let us know at the farmstand no later than June 1st.

Many Thanks,
Katie
