Bay Ridge CSA

Spend Saturday at the farm!

As you may have read, Hearty Roots had to pull forward their garlic harvest this year because of the incredible weather that brought it to readiness a little earlier than anticipated. Those of you who picked up your share this weekend will, of course, have benefited from this – and I’m sure there’s plenty of garlic still to come this year!

Despite the change to the schedule, the Hearty Roots folk do still want to invite everybody along to the farm on July 17th as planned. There are plenty of other farm tasks that can be undertaken by those coming to visit, and they’ll also be offering tours of the farm at 11am and 4pm. It’s a perfect opportunity to spend a day outdoors, getting to see exactly where your food comes from.

It’s also a great opportunity to visit the farm’s pick-your-own garden. In the small garden, the farm plant herbs, flowers, and a few veggies that are too labor intensive to be picked for the CSA, but that CSA members and locals might like to pick for themselves. Peas and basil are currently ready for picking, and who knows what else you might find!

Snacks and beverages will be provided, but feel free to bring a picnic lunch and make a real day of it. Benjamin and co would love you to come for as much or as little time as you like, either to do some work in the field or just to take a farm tour or enjoy the day.

If you’re planning to go and you have space in your car that could be filled by another CSA member (or if you’d love to go but have no transport) please contact Rana at email hidden; JavaScript is required, and we’ll try to put people together.

Everybody who has been to the farm before has had a great day, so why not get involved this year. The event runs this Saturday (July 17th) from 10am – 5pm!
