April 2011 Farm News
Greenhouse opens Saturday, April 30*
Open six days a week (Wednesday-Monday)
from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Closed on Tuesdays.
Remember: Cash and checks only.
We’ve been planting and filling up the greenhouses with delicious vegetables, herbs and beautiful flower starts. For a complete list of all the plants we plan to offer, click on the Shopping List/Clipboard on the left.
New this year is our farm’s own little organic seed line. It features dill, garden beans, arugula, lettuce, tomatoes, flowers, cilantro, Bug Bloom Blend and more. Also new are Hot Kaps (see picture). These handy paper cones are used to protect veggies from wind and cold.
*Easter weekend made me push back our opening one week. If you want to stop by earlier (April 25-29) we will be open and available from 9 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Looking forward to seeing you at the greenhouse, getting caught up and hearing about your garden plans for 2011. Don’t forget to bring your Think Boise First coupon (see below).
Other news
The replanted hard red wheat came up nice in the March rains. It’s really responding to the warmer days. From this wheat we grind it into a tasty organic, whole wheat flour which is sold to various restaurants and bakeries in the Treasure Valley (click on Flour page on left). We're thrilled to announce Canyon Bounty's organic whole wheat flour is now available at the Boise Consumer Co-op. The flour is available in bulk and in 3 lb. bags.
Thanks for supporting local farms.
Let’s all grow good food,
