Potluck, Packout, Pickup!

The weather has been fairly unpredictable this spring—85 degrees in mid-March, but we’ve had some chilly weeks, too. And either it doesn’t rain at all or we have a deluge, or even hailstorms. Who knows what will happen next, but we are really betting against a plague of locusts.

In any event, this means that we are just a bit slow off the blocks getting some produce to harvest stage. Though we were hoping for mid-May, it looks like our first Enright Ridge CSA pickup is scheduled for Saturday, May 26, 10:00 am to 12:00 noon, at the greenhouse on Enright Avenue. We ask that new and returning members please review the packout policy (which is conveniently online, look at #7 through #9 in the Enright CSA Policy document).

Before the first pickup, we’ll have another potluck at Imago on Thursday, May 24. For new members, there is an orientation at 5:30 pm, and for everyone, there’s dinner at 6:30 pm. Please come to enjoy some good eats and talk about what to expect at that first pickup a couple of days later.

We’re continuing to add more online features for the Enright Ridge CSA, and we’ll keep you posted on that, too. To keep our members up to date, we often change the information on the Members page of our website, which also has links to a calendar of events for the current month and the next month. For more up-to-the-moment information, please follow this blog, and look for e-mails from Enright Ridge CSA, including one that will come toward the end of each week during the growing season, to tell you that the new issue of the Enright CSA Greenhouse Gazette, our newsletter, is posted and ready to read.
