Blueberry season is always far shorter than we wish it was. As you can see above, we're already in the process of removing protective netting designed to deter birds and grazing animals from the fields containing the earliest blueberry varieties. Although it's sad to say, due to cool, wet weather and a lack of abundant sunshine, this year's brief blueberry season may be even more brief than most. Let's enjoy it while it lasts!

CSA Distribution Bin Reminder
As a continuing reminder throughout the season, we ask that all CSA participants please remember to return their distribution bins each week. Sustainability and food safety are of supreme importance to us, and these reusable bins, which are sanitized each week, are an important part of our efforts to operate in a sustainable, responsible manner. We very much appreciate your cooperation. Thanks!

As a reminder, we are still continuing to stock two recent new additions to the farm store, both created in collaboration with Eric Laughery of Beelzebub Salsa. They're unique culinary experiences you won't find anywhere else. The first is Beelzebub's brand new Blueberry Salsa, made with Hunter Farms Organic Blueberries just picked from our fields. It's as fresh as fresh can be and unlike any other salsa we've tried. Of course we're biased, but if you already love our berries and Beelzebub's salsas, we think you'll love the combination.
In addition to the blueberry salsa above, we also have a limited supply of pickled organic asparagus grown here at the farm and pickled using a unique recipe Laughery crafted just for us. It's a twist on asparagus you won't soon forget. A little sweet, a little spicy, and incredibly full of flavor, we think it's another winning combination.
