Alisa Steck's photo exhibit opening is tomorrow night at the Downtown Bremerton Library 612 5th Street, N. Bremerton, WA 98837 from 5:00 - 7:30 PM

Our farm is featured in it. I am very excited to attend. I hope you can attend, too.

Sun and high clouds bode well for a gorgeous day. The first of our crew arrived at 6 a.m. Soon after a broody duck came up from where ever she is hiding out only to find the duck house closed and the food yet to be put out.

While the duck thinks only of her own needs, our crew is thinking about today's harvest. The CSA share bags will be full, of course, and so will the Farm Store. Our fresh list is to the right. It has much but not all of what is offered today.

In addition to vegetables, we have a few jugs of Dungeness Valley Creamery milk that are not yet spoken for, but not many. We have several pounds of fresh Personal Roast Coffee for you, and that delicious Oil of Paicines olive oil from Mission olives. 

We also have duck eggs and chicken eggs.

For those of you who pre-ordered your chicken, it is waiting for you. The average weight is about 4 1/2 pounds. Lighter than last month, however, those who have already picked up their birds are delighted with the lighter weight, and some have found that an extra chicken fits into their budget and bought more. 

If you did not pre-order, we have a fine selection of fryers for your culinary enjoyment. 

The garlic greens are gone for now, and garlic scapes have replaced them. Soon we will be harvesting the garlic to dry.

Come by an check out what we have for you today.

Good things happening on this sunny day.

Also remember to order your milk.

We will have fryers and broilers ready on June 28 for your July 4th BBQ. Sign up now.

It is cold and misty morning that portends a cold and misty day. In June we should expect sunny days, with some high clouds, with temperatures in the mid-70s in the daytime and low 60s at night. Boo hiss climate and weather change.

Perhaps we are lucky because we have had no snow, droughts, floods, tornadoes, tsunamis, or heat waves. However, it is winter in Auckland, New Zealand, which they are not having, according to a friend who spoke to his mother there the other day. Strangely, our little patch of Earth has the same weather forecast as Auckland, New Zealand in mid-winter, Here is the weather forecast for the next three days for Keyport which is a mile from us: 68° / 53°  --  63° / 54°  --  64° / 50°. This is the Auckland weather forecast for the same days: 63°/ 54°  --  61° / 54°  --  61° / 54°.

The Tuesday CSA pickup starts in hours.

Thank you for choosing our seasonal, single-farm CSA. Being a single-source CSA means that we do not import fruits and vegetables from other warmer climates. Our farm, in Central Kitsap, near Keyport and Brownsville, enjoys or endures the same weather you do.

Keep thinking good thoughts for warm weather in the 70’s. The garden will grow quickly with summer weather, and you will be enjoying more varieties of vegetables. Potatoes, peas, garlic, beans, broccoli, many types of lettuce, corn, herbs, and much, much more are growing today for you.

This is the first week of our Summer CSA Share 2011. We promise that each week you will get fresh vegetables just as if you planted your kitchen garden.

This year we started with Saturday. So our Saturday pickup will be at the Poulsbo Farmer's Market, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Today, Friday, was the best weather we have had all year. It made us all happy.
