June has arrived, and CSA season is upon us!
I am very pleased to be able to share with you that we have hired Casey Amster as our farmer for this season. Casey has been part of the Weir River Farm community for several seasons and will be a familiar face to many of you. Rory O’Dwyer will also be on farm one day a week supporting Casey, which she has kindly agreed to do in addition to her new duties at Brookwood Community Farm. It is a treat to have both Casey and Rory with us again this season!
The bulk of the CSA vegetables in your CSA share will come from Chestnut Hill Farm, another Trustees farm. Casey is hard at work planting pick-your-own veggies and flowers, and we hope to have those available for you in July. In addition, he’ll be growing some extra items to add to your shares and produce for a Saturday farmstand that we’ll be piloting this year at Weir River Farm.
A few reminders about upcoming dates:
• CSA member orientation: Thursday June 9th, 4:30-5:30pm, Yellow House (140 Turkey Hill Lane).
• First CSA pick-up: Thursday June 16th, 2-6pm, Yellow House.
CSA distribution will be market style, and you’ll have the opportunity to select your own produce. At the first CSA pick-up you’ll receive a Trustees tote bag to transport your produce; please bring this bag to each pick-up.
Stay tuned for future blog updates about your share contents and farm happenings!
Sincerely,
Fran Blanchard
General Manager, Greater Hingham
