2017 CSA Season

Yep. I'm still here.  Christmas and New Year's have past.  January is time to start thinking about taxes and gardens.  Let's just think about the gardens and our CSA-Community Supported Agriculture.

Glory Farm is located in Floodwood, MN. We grow all of our produce organically, though we're not certified. We are now offering 2017 garden shares.  There are two sizes this year- half shares and full shares.  Our half shares feed two and our full shares feed four, depending how much you love to eat, of course. 

We will be including many herbs in the shares and offering over 25 different types of fruits and vegetables.

Our season will start in June and extend into October for a total of 18 weeks.

We're also offering a bread share this year.  A loaf of artisan bread delivered weekly with your vegetables.

Half shares-$250 (Less than $14 a week)
Full shares-$400
Bread shares-$54

We have a limited amount of shares so get your order in early.

You can contact us through the email link at the top of this page where it says odiie, or wait until I get the form loaded to this site. (If I can figure out how to do that.) 😁                                                                                                                                                                   

Be a blessing.

I Could Live in the Garden

It's morning, already?  So tired.  So much to do. 
Winter is definitely on it's way.  Snowflakes have fallen on more than one occasion. A lot of loose ends left to tie up.
Here's the exciting news:

The hoophouse is ready to use.  Going to experiment with a couple of short, cold-weather crops.  Maybe some radishes and romain.  It's really late to do that, but...

If nothing else, I can move my rocking chair in here and enjoy the tropical climate.  I'm so blessed.
Today I hope to get the garlic in-finally.

Get the carrots, cabbage and squash into the cellar.  And just kind of tidy up.  I have sheep hooves to trim and a couple of vaccinations to give. 

CSA news-We have one week left for deliveries.  This week it'll be added-value products.  Some herb mixes, soup mixes, dressings and maybe some bread.  Then on to planning for next year-with a hoophouse!!!

Redeem the time.

Week #5

Hard to believe that summer's slipping away.  Summer garden crops are giving way to fall crops.  I hope to keep the CSA up and running into October.  Hoping. 

The green beans and cucumbers are abundant and I am so grateful.  The rutabagas, broccoli and brussel sprouts could use some cooler weather.  Looks like we might have to skip broccoli this year.

It's time to put food up for the winter.  Canning and dehydrating and my kitchen is always a mess.  I'm going to try Mama Pea's recipe for fermented vegetables.  Just finished up some dill pickles.

Have more beans to can and more garlic to dehydrate. 

God is good.  Life is busy.

Week #4

Okay, so I totally skipped week 3. 
Anyways, this week's offerings include kohlrabi and cucumbers.
The garlic was harvested so garlic powder should soon show up in the weekly shares.

We had a nice surprise this week.  Edyth blessed us with-Emily.

Have a great week.  Enjoy the summer-it's fleeting.

Week #2

News from the garden-
Deer have found the peas.  I should still get a decent amount, but they ate off the tops of some of the plants.

This week's boxes will have peas, basil, lettuces, chard, kale, carrots and maybe a few onions.  This is more of a challenge than I thought it would be.  Surely a learning experience.

My herbs beds are growing like crazy.  Unfortunately, the good growth has overshadowed my little rosemary and thyme plants and they're stunted.

Looks like rain this morning.  Better get out there and get some things done.
