It was a glorious week to be working outside with perfect temperatures and low humidity. That doesn’t mean that it was all wine and roses though. Steve, our farm manager, is a list maker and task master and he gets the best out of his crew and they respect him for it. The list was long but it’s Friday and they only have a few more things to accomplish before next weeks list is made on Sunday night sometime.

It’s always good to get the first week of CSA behind us. And we did it with grace. There are a couple of snags related to pick-up days but, that’s normal. Your bounty looked great and I’m sure many of you are preparing some new veggies for the first time. The beginning of the season is alway heavy on the green stuff. But honestly, we know that’s what we should be eating anyway. So do your best to find some new recipes and embrace all that is green and leafy.

It won’t be long before the kitchen downstairs is open and that’s when the real fun will begin. We’re excited about having that extra space so we can hire additional staff to keep the farm stand stocked with all your favorites. Instead of making soup in our 4 gallon stock pot, we’ll have a 30 gallon tilt skillet and we hopefully never run out of your favorite soup or chili again.

A big ‘Thank you’ to all of you who have been so complimentary with the new farm stand! We absolutely love working in it. The kitchen downstairs is almost done, and it creates all sorts of possibilities for creating more prepared items for the farm stand, including dinners. We’ll also be able to expand our lunch and catering menu. We are especially excited about using the space for adult and kid cooking classes. It should be really fun!

A big thanks to all the people at Chronicle on WCVB Channel 5 for producing a wonderful piece on farm stands. We are honored to be part of it! There are so many hard working farms throughout Massachusetts, each one offering a unique take on the farm stand. If you haven’t already seen it, follow the links to watch it on the WCVB website (the original broadcast is split into a few pieces).

Well we finally did it! We took advantage of the rainy weather last week and made the move into the new farm stand. We still have a number of displays to make and coolers to purchase but, it feels great! It is roomy, the light is great and the smell of the wood is heavenly.
