Notes From Green Thumb Farm - June 1, 2013

Our 2013 Season has begun! Our 18th year delivering our own certified organic produce to our city friends. So far our spring has been cooler than the last several years, so are crops are maturing slower. We should still have strawberries by the 2nd week in June and all other crops are growing well.

Our spring strawberry picking Farm Tour is scheduled for Saturday, June 15th. It will be a walking tour of one of our fields seeing lettuces, peas, beans, summer squashs, berries and other crops all in various stages of development. We meet at the field on Rose Hill Road just off Montauk Highway in Water Mill. Tour leaves every hour starting at 10:30, 11:30, 12:30 and 1:30, ending with everybody picking a quart of berries. Farm Tour is open to all CSA members and their families and at no charge. We hope all who want to see our farm come down and join us. The next chance to tour the farm is October Pumpkin picking. More info at (631) 726 1900 between the hours of 9 and 4.

So we're all looking forward to a wonderful and productive year with not too many challenges!

Organically yours,
Farmer Bill
