Friday’s farm stand was better than I could have expected! We had a great balance of pre-sale orders and drop-ins. One of the best parts was seeing friends and neighbors that I haven’t seen during this pandemic.
We honored our social distancing protocols and I harvested with a mask and gloves. The day was lovely - thank you Weather Devas for gifting us with a dry, cool day.
The pre-sales order page is updated now with what’s available this week so get your order in anytime between now and Thursday at noon for a Friday morning pick-up. There was a bit of a rush for pick up right at or before 11 am. I know I said the earlier the better for freshness, but your produce will be fine in the bins that morning so feel free to come anytime between 11 am and 1 pm.
Some who showed up went home with a free sample of handmade pasta from Jim Beers of Pasta Del Sol. He will be making pasta twice a month that can be pre-ordered through him and picked up at our farm stand. You can contact him for more information at (503)804-6293 or pastadelsol@yahoo.com.
We still have some plant starts available. Red cherry toms, golden cherry toms, yellow pear toms, slicers and paste/sauce toms, celery, chard, broccoli, cauliflower, kale and lettuce. I forgot to mention to those who bought starts that I do reuse pots so bring them on back if you aren’t using them yourself.
If you came to the stand that day, I would love to hear how it was for you and how I might improve it. It will continue to be developed and more produce choices will be on the table as the season progresses.
Thank you to all who showed up! It was great fun for me and my sister, Karla. What a super helper she is. I feel quite blessed.
