The greenhouse is full of little seedlings, the field house is planted with Spring greens and the red-winged blackbirds are now at the bird feeder.
Although I spoke of the robins several weeks ago as a sure sign of spring, the cacophony of sound each morning and the redwing’s presence have sealed the deal that our season has begun. I felt that it was important I encourage you to sign back up for this coming season soon. We are nearly full now and we do not want to have to close the door on any of you long-time and supportive members. Brian and I are grateful for all of you.
You are the folks who know so well how important it is to eat locally and organically while keeping tabs on your farmer! If you have the chance, take a look at Michael Pollan’s new book, In Defense of Food. I quote from the end of the book:
“ When you’re cooking with food as alive as this – these gorgeous and semigorgeous fruits and leaves – you’re in no danger of mistaking it for a commodity, or a fuel, or a collection of chemical nutrients. No, in the eye of the cook or gardener or the farmer who grew it, this food reveals itself for what it is: no mere thing but a web of relationships among a great many living beings, some of them human, some not, but each of them dependent on the other, and all of them ultimately rooted in soil and nourished by sunlight.”
Looking forward to a bountiful season.
Take care - Justine
