A Week Behind

I am a week behind because of vacation and no internet connections available in the cabin.  But now we are getting back on track!

Strawberries seems to be doing week at this time.  We got two quarts in our boxes this week (my older kids ate them all before I could even see them), since it was peak week.  Next week we will be back to our one quart per CSA box.  However, there are some extra strawberries that will be available for us to buy for next week.  If ordering some please remember to order them by mailing Rue with your order at least three days in advance at cedarmorefarm@gmail.com.  Strawberries are $4.00 a quart or if you order 8 or more then they will be $3.50.

Just to clarify a few things....this is how the CSA works.

Generally whatever is in season is what will be in our boxes.  When yield is up we will get more.  When yield is down unfortunately we will get less.  However, since Cedarmore is a 'multiple farm' CSA.  They do not always use all the produce grown by the other farmers.  For example they have two or three farmers in the area that grow strawberries.  They sell to other outlets besides Cedarmore Farm.  So with strawberries they have their normal one quart per box if supply is available.  The last two seasons they have been able to do two quarts in our boxes during peak season.  They consider that a good year when they can provide us with two quarts in our boxes. 

So if you would like to get a few more strawberries just remember to email Rue and he will get the message to Andy and Lizzie.
