We’re quickly approaching the start of the 17th P&C Summer CSA season! After wrapping up the Winter CSA at the end of April we’ve shifted all focus to the Summer CSA countdown. That means it’s time to do all the things other than harvesting (ie. planting, trellising, irrigating, propagating, cultivating, mowing, tilling) on repeat. It’s go time!

As many of you past farm members know, we take the month of May off from harvesting to focus on planting. Of course there’s also the pre-planting work that goes into prepping ground for planting, growing up the transplants, and then keeping everything watered and weeded after we plant them. We’re thankful for your support as we take the time to focus on getting things in the ground and growing to ensure another successful CSA season.

The last few weeks have been a planting blur for us. Beans, corn, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, onions, lettuce, kohlrabi, kale, beets, fennel, spinach, dill, cilantro, zucchini, bok choy, cucumbers, eggplant, peppers, leeks, celeriac and more were all transplanted into the field. Next up are the third rounds of broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage soon to be followed by tomatillos, melons and the list goes on. We’ve also planted the potatoes and direct sown carrots, radishes, and salad turnips. That’s all to say that in May, we plant!

Soon enough we’ll make the first harvest lists of the season, get back into the swing of harvesting, and before we know it we’ll be ready to bring you the first share of the 2026 Summer CSA season!

Until then we hope you’ve been getting our recent member emails. If you’ve signed up to join us for the Summer CSA and haven’t heard from us in your email inbox recently, try checking your spam or promotions folders for emails from us.

On that note, let’s wrap up this update. Summer CSA members, keep an eye out for more emails from us as we continue the countdown to the start of the Summer CSA season!

All our thanks!

Your farmers – Carri & Jeff
