Art rocks my world, but without good music and good food I'm lost. (Of course, ideally we are robustly devouring great art, music and eats simultaneously...ahhhhh....) .
With this in mind, I direct you to a CSA offering from some of my favorite farmers:
If you want fresh, flavorful and nutritious produce, nothing beats joining a farm CSA (except maybe growing your own garden)! As a CSA member you get a weekly assortment of seasonal produce picked the same day and a direct connection to your local farm and farmer. There’s nothing like fresh wholesome food with a story to deepen your appreciation of your meals !
As part of our farm community you’ll develop your sense of place, eating what the Quimper Peninsula can offer, while developing your palette and noticing flavors in vegetables that just don’t ship across the country, or wait for you on . . . OUR FARM:
Froghill Farm is truly a Port Townsend community farm! Located within city limits, the farm and its farmers have been dedicated to sharing its beautiful rural atmosphere and agricultural knowledge with the greater community through a variety of educational and work programs for both children and adults. Since 1998, Froghill has grown high-quality certified organic vegetables, berries and flowers on three fertile acres nourished with compost and cover crops. Our use of Biodynamic techniques and preparations helps bring life and vitality to our soils and crops. Our farm crew includes two farm families, apprentices, working CSA members and volunteers.
THE FARMERS
Sebastian Aguilar and Kelly Gelino have been farming full-time since 1997 and have three children (Emma 10, Ezra 8, and Noah 5).They are passionate about family, simple living, farming and community. A spirit of generosity and the study of biodynamics guides their farming practices. Kelley Janes and Alan Brisley have over 40 years combined organic gardening and farming experience and have farmed Frog Hill Farm since 1997 with their two children Linden (12) and Daisy (8). Kelley and Alan bring their community organizing backgrounds and their commitment to spiritual and social renewal to their farming activity and are developing a model for community involvement in the farm that they call “village style community agriculture.”
THE FOOD
Once a week from June through October, you’ll receive 7 - 9 vegetable crops that are harvested and washed that same morning. These vegetables are always harvested at the peak of ripeness and are a delight to eat. With a season cost of $450 (or less with a work-trade), you save 25% off the retail price.
