Lovely people, just wanted to tell you all how grateful we are, that you are trusting us with helping feed you and your family this summer! =) =)

Seeing some great things out there, not only with what we've planted but with the forage crops that we hunt popping up nearby. Dandelion greens, evening primrose leaves and drum roll... milkweed florets are all coming around for a perfect 'first few baskets' confluence. Might have some daylily flowers popping up here soon, too, and I think we still have nettle tops for harvesting. I'm definitely keeping my eyes peeled!
Finally, we had an interesting development at the homestead. One of our female runner ducks (of a breed which is not known for motherly behaviors) has managed to hatch a clutch of eggs. Not only are there baby duckies, but she also managed to warm up (and pop out) two baby chicks... apparently a hen stuck down there when momma was off her duck eggs, and made a couple of deposits into the bank of future feathered friends =)

| How'd I get here?! Like, seriously! |

| Two chicken stowaways... *gasp* |
Well, that's all the news that I can take the time to share with you all for now... please check your emails and phones for upcoming and IMPORTANT updates, on 1) getting everyone's allotment correct (in terms of share add-ons) + payment received from everyone; and 2) whether our first share pickup will be Wednesday, June 5th from 4:30-6:30 at the Wedge at Foundation. Some years we need an extra week to have enough produce coming in... but I think next week is looking likely!
Matt and the gang
Excited to hear these updates and thanks for all your effort.
