How are your New Year's Resolutions coming along? Did your resolutions include eating healthier, shopping local, or trying a CSA for the first time? Guess what? I can help you with all three of those resolutions at once! Join Serenity Farm CSA and we will provide you with delicious, nutrient dense, freshly picked vegetables, pastured pork and poultry, certified organic wheat, and more to help you eat healthier. Are you wanting to shop local more and stay away from the big box chain store? Supporting small farms and farmers truly impacts the life of a small farmer more than you can possibly imagine. Large corporate farms are running small family farms out of business, but you can make a difference. The price of our share may seem like a lot to pay all at once, but multiply that by 100 other members and we have enough to keep the farm running for another year and continue to live out our dream of playing in the dirt with our children. Have you wanted to join a CSA, but worry that you won't like the vegetables or find it too risky? Well, I can most definitely help you with the first concern and provide recipes for some of the lesser known vegetables. Trying new vegetables tempts your palate to enjoy new flavors and possibly learn to enjoy a vegetable that you had as a child that was terribly prepared! Who remembers eating mushy broccoli? Learn how to properly prepare fresh broccoli and you'll love it for life. Joining a CSA has its risks, but don't most things that are worth doing? Our first season last year encountered many hurdles, but we still pressed forward and provided as many vegetables as we possibly could. How will this year be different? We are no longer vegetable rookies! It's a lot different growing a home vegetable garden than supplying food for 100+ families. We have made changes to our farm and CSA program this year which will enable us to be more resilient in the face of difficult weather. If you have already joined our CSA, thank you! Please spread the news and encourage your family and friends to give us a try. If you are still on the fence...give us a call or come visit us at the farm or the February 27th indoor farmer's market at 21st and Ridge. I will be there with our oldest son and we would be happy to answer any questions you might have. You can also see our vegetables up close and take some home to enjoy.
