Howdy Members:

Hope you enjoyed your first week of vegetables. We would like to know how you enjoyed them. We love to share recipes too, so if you have a favorite, feel free to e-mail it to me and then see your name in print the next time we offer that veggie. We like to hear any exciting news from our members also. EMAIL = valleydreamfarm@wildblue.net Mini Red onions are from our winter storage this week, so use them as soon as possible, remove the green center if they do sprout on you.

Are you enjoying receiving the newsletter by e-mail? We will have a paper copies for those that need them, just drop us a note if you need a hard copy.

Farmstand : Check off the list and fill your own bags.
Deliveries: If you are ever out in our area please stop by the farm. You can meet us, your farmers and check out our farm stand open daily 10-6.

We were so excited that our tomatoes are ripening ahead of schedule. This is their earliest appearance for our members, ever. Hope we can eat our fill before there is any talk about late blight this season.

Next week we will be sending you a tomato plant because no one ever gets enough tomatoes. You can put this on your deck or patio or even in your yard. Pick a spot with lots of sunshine.

Thanks!

Anne 

P.S. Members can order a discounted MAPLE SYRUP SHARE now available, get two half gallons for $55.00 grade B (I think it is a little bigger in maple flavor, and a little darker in color, yet still my favorite). CALL to Order.
