Welcome CSA 2015!

CSA Families-

Welcome to 2015!

This past Saturday, we started our Georgia Jet Sweet Potatoes slips and the March seedlings indoors. See below planting/harvest schedule for 2015. Not reflected in the image will also be sweet corn in July/August and mulberries this summer that you will be invited to pick once they are ready to harvest.

Of note:
  • Kick-off gathering on Thursday, May 28, 5:30 – 7:30 where all the CSA families will have an opportunity to get to know one another. We will provide the food, smoking a chicken that evening, and ask everyone just to bring their beverage of choice.
  • Pick up will be each Thursday where you get eggs and your fresh edibles for the week.
  • We will give you a heads up early in the week via the blog of what to expect on pick-up day: http://walkerhomesteadcsa.blogspot.com/
  • The other party dates are 25-Jun and 24-Sep, (which are also the dates you pick up your CSA chickens).
  • If not already paid, your CSA payment of $400 is due in April. Checks can be made to Walker Homestead CSA.  
  • Let us know if you want organic eggs laid by pasture-raised, free-range chickens prior to that CSA season start. We sell them for $3.50/dozen with the egg carton returned for reuse.  Drop us an email and we can bring them to the hospital or the Tippie College of Business.
