Farm Visit, Potluck & Strawberries!
UPDATED INFORMATION
It's almost here and we have a nice group forming; if you wake up Sunday morning and the spirit moves you, you're still welcome to come. Here's how the visit is shaping up:
 Approximate Schedule 11am ~ Arrival, introductions & lawn games 12noon ~ Setup for lunch
12:30pm ~ Potluck lunch
1:30pm ~ Farm tour with Chris (an hour or so) Before, During, After ~ Strawberry picking
Strawberry Picking
Despite the dire conditions of the strawberries from rain over the past week, a few dry, sunny days have perked them up enough for the boxes this week and for you to pick. Let us direct you to the beds available for picking; we hope to be able to have you pick, eat, and take home as many as you'd like.
Potluck We will provide grilled meat and drinks; please bring a side dish or salad to share. We'll plan a simple, strawberry-centered dessert. Chilled items are encouraged, but there will be limited access to our two house ovens for reheating dishes.
RSVP We've received enough responses to have a general idea of how many to expect, but please call or text Robin (708-370-8017) if you have last-minute questions or a large group to add. Again, if you decide on Sunday morning to come, please come ahead!
Ride Share We've had at least one offer of a ride to and from the farm; if you still need a ride or would like to offer a ride, please contact Robin ASAP. What to Bring
* Folding chair(s) and/or picnic blankets
* Frisbie, soccer ball, other lawn games
* Hat and sunscreen (and consider wearing long sleeves and layers)
* Close-toed shoes
* Containers for collecting berries (we'll have open pint containers)
* Cooler w/ice pack for transporting your berries home
Directions from Chicago
Take I-90 to Janesville exit 171B (US-14 West), follow Hwy 14 through Janesville, and in Evansville when Hwy 14 turns northward, stay straight through town to pick up County Road C (turn right). Continue on County C (jog south briefly at Hwy 104 to pick up County C), after 2-3 miles, cross County Rd E and go one more mile to Sandy Hook Road. Take a right at Sandy Hook. We're the first driveway on the right, with a big yellow house.
NOTE: If you need directions while en route, call Chris, 608-712-1585, or Paul, 608-558-5754 (Robin's phone doesn't work too well at the farm). The farm's address is N7720 Sandy Hook Rd, Brooklyn WI 53521.

WHAT'S COOKIN'
|
The kohlrabi literally wouldn't fit in the box last week, but it's coming in time to try out last week's Chili-Dusted Kohlrabi Fries for your holiday gathering. Sugar snap peas are so sweet and easy; try them raw, sauteed, or baked. |
