Interesting box for you this week. We’ve found ourselves flush in not-quite-perfect-but-still-darn-good tomatoes, so we’re loading you up this week with a half-case each! Such is the nature of CSA farming,

Well, it looks like we’re back to plain-old regular summer after a bout of the hard stuff, and we’re deep in to those summer crops too. Blueberries are on, tomatoes are going strong. The beets are big and beautiful, snap peas are here for one last week and we even have a few new potatoes for you

It already feels like one of those summers we’ll be telling our grandchildren about. Though if global warming doesn’t pull any punches in the years ahead, we may be telling them how balmy and mild the summer of ’15 was, back when the Skagit ran all the way to the sea, like so many old rivers of yore.
Without the benefit of fifty years . . .

Well here we are, barreling down on the 4th of July and already well into(as Farmer Dave has taken to saying) one of the nicest Augusts I’ve ever seen. So we, and most everyone else in the valley, are irrigating just as fast as we can . . .

Hello, everyone, it’s here! The chard is here! While we’ve had tomatoes coming out of the greenhouse for almost two months now, strawberries have been and gone, and we’ve already cut our fair share of overwintering cauliflower this spring, Swiss Chard always . . .

Well, you couldn’t have asked for a better strawberry season. Three weeks with hardly a drop of rain and heat like it’s mid-July. This is the longest run of the prettiest strawberries I can recall. Sadly, all good things . . .

The solstice is still nearly two weeks away but summer is here! The spring is off to a roaring start and we have the strawberries to prove it! Welcome and welcome back, everyone, to another year in Hedlin Farms 2015 Community Supported Agricultue program, a box of crops, from us to you!
All this sun means everything
