It's Time to Start Eating Fresh Local Produce Again!

It's been a long six months since the last pickup at the Enright CSA greenhouse last December, but it's finally time to start getting our locally grown greens and vegetables again. This Saturday, May 18, is the first pickup of the 2013 season. Pickup times are 10:00 am to 12:00 noon at the greenhouse, as usual.

The packout workers work hard, and they are working a longer shift this year, so they really, truly appreciate it if you can respect the pickup time and arrange to be there in time to be finished by noon so they can clean up and get on with their Saturday, too. If you can't make it before noon, just let the packout folks know (packout@enright-csa.org) the evening before and they will pack up your share and have it waiting for you in the greenhouse cooler.

We haven't heard what will be in this first week's share yet, but you can probably expect greens. There's lettuce growing at the Terry Street garden, and there are also greens coming along at the greenhouse. Whatever we get will be welcome as we can start eating fresh and locally grown food again.

Don't forget to bring your bags, and if you haven't signed up for a work team yet, there will be people there on Saturday morning to help you do that. There is also a plant sale during the same hours as pickup, so if you are looking for plants grown using organic practices, heirloom varieties, tomatoes, peppers (hot and sweet, bell and pimento), tomatillos, eggplant, collards, cabbage, and chard, be sure to check out the plant sale, too. There will be several kinds of herb plants available as well, including dill and three kinds of basil.

See you at the greenhouse!
