Oh Vicki! I almost shed a tear while I was reading your last letter. ThankYOU for farming and providing the communities with local, sustainably harvested produce. All of the fruits and veg taste so much better from you because they were grown with love. ... and I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every week's harvest box. ... birthday is at the beginning of December, and I asked him what type of cake he wanted me to make. He said that he preferred pies, especially pumpkin, so thank you for the recipe! I'm not one to decorate much, but it's delightful to have these cute little gourds to adorn our table. I'm waiting until ... gets home tonight so we can husk the ornamental corn together. (His job for meal preparation this summer/fall was to husk the corn before dinner.) This has been so much fun and I love supporting you and your farm!

Hi Vicki,
I just want to let you know how much we've enjoyed our harvest share
this season (our first time). A few years ago, I was a commited "junk
food junkie" but discovering all the natural food choices since I moved to Oregon changed all that. I enjoyed challenging myself to try almost everything you sent, and we had a lot of great new discoveries... from your rhubarb pie recipe the first week to the leek soup you wrote I "must" make last week. We also love the weekly glimpse of farm life in your letters.
All summer I've hardly cracked a cookbook and barely shopped for
groceries. It has been enough to keep enough pasta, cheese, and other non-perishable staples on hand to combine creatively with whatever comes on Tuesday! (An occasional theft from our neighbor's garden fills in the gaps.) In fact, we have eaten so cheaply and healthily this summer, that I wonder if it would be possible to partner with a local food bank or
similar organization and allow harvest share subscribers to contribute towards the cost of a harvest share for a family in need. It is really a case of a little going a long way.

Hi Vicki,
Yes, pick up went smoothly for me. Thank you!
I have to tell you that my cat was watching as I showed my sister all
the goodies. When Jackson spotted those curled garlic buds, he was just
obsessed with them! He wouldn't leave us alone till we gave him one. He
was one happy cat batting it around, chewing on it and playing with it
till bed time. Then he "buried" under the door mat.
So we're calling him garlic-breath now :-)
Thanks for the delicious, and entertaining, produce!

Yes! The strawberries are gone :), we're making rhubarb pie tonight, pea pods went into lunches. Obviously we're happy! Thank you,

Hello,
I just wanted to give you a big THANK YOU for your Open Farm Day on
June 5th. This is my first year of being a member of a CSA and after
visiting your farm, meeting your family, taking the Hay Ride and
most of all eating the wonderful strawberry sundae, I am sure I am a
member of the very best CSA. I am looking forward to getting our
first Harvest Box, even with the Kohlrabi!
Thanks again for the Open Farm.

Vicki- Thank you so much for the delightful bag of goodies that we received today. My husband and I ate the whole container of strawberries for dessert! I threw some calendula petals on top of our chicken; they matched the sweet potatoes we had so well! Delightful. :) I can't wait to pick away at our little sputnik. Everything is so beautiful! We are going to make your rhubarb recipe soon - reminds me of growing up in Wisconsin!
