January 10^th and 12^th

All across the nation at this time of year, farmers are pouring over the beautifully printed seed catalogues that traditionally arrive in early January.  New varieties of cucumber, old varieties of heirloom tomatoes and the ever-growing assortment of lettuces are pictured in full color display.  Last Wednesday, Laguna Farm got a  good start on ordering seeds for the coming year.  Such an exciting purchase!  Let’s hope the lack of rain does not turn into a late wet spring that delays our summer planting!

With the New Year, we are seeing several new members join the farm.  I love the boost the CSA gets at this time of year.  Most home gardens are dormant, New Year’s resolutions are strong and generous holiday presents are redeemed.  I have a personal goal of adding 30 new members to the farm during the month of January.  So far, we are on track!

Be Well,

Jennifer Branham

Adding more to your CSA. We strive to provide an abundant store on the farm and online.  Along with the physical CSA store, Laguna Farm also has an online store where you can add items to your CSA weekly, bi-weekly or just once.  Many members are getting bread, dairy, extra salad, fruit shares and nuts and grains.  If you need help signing up for these “extras”, please let us know.  We appreciate the extra sales in “add-ons” and are happy to provide our Home Delivery and Drop Site members with a shopping experience as well.

Got Chicken? Amber and Son Poultry will have a table at Laguna Farm on Thursday January 12.  Amber will take sign-ups on the spot and tell members about her unique chicken farm.  Come meet Amber and learn what pasture raised chicken is all about.  To order by phone, call 364-4037.
