Veggie Subscriptions started today!

Today we had our first veggie subscriptions of the season! Subscribers got a mixed bag of leaf lettuce, a head of Romaine lettuce, a half bag of spinach, a pint of strawberries, a pint of sugar snap peas, and a jar of our hot pepper jelly.

We had a few "snafus" but all in all it went well.

The rain really did a number on the strawberries, and we had a hard time getting enough pretty ones for our subscribers. The deer ate the Swiss chard we were holding for the subscriptions.

Charles left early to go get the bags assembled for the deliveries this morning. Then an hour later, he returned, as he had forgotten the strawberry clam shell containers in the basement.

Charles put all the deliveries in coolers to keep them fresh and to avoid the wind-whipping that can occur to lettuce. Of course, we forgot to load one of the coolers. So, he made an extra trip back to the farm house to get it.

He found all the delivery drop offs - after a bit of searching on a couple of them!

So mostly it was a good day. After we get the bugs ironed out, we think things will run more smoothly this summer.
