We are in full swing this week kicking all the veggies and flowers out of the greenhouses and into their respective fields for the summer! Our bees are happy in their new hives and we anticipate a healthy community that will produce lots of honey. We bid farewell to the pigs this week and anticipate our reunion with their new form that will provide delicious pork for our CSA members. Speaking of CSA, don’t forget our market stand will shift to Summer CSA hours starting June 9th. Summer CSA members can pickup their produce on Tuesdays from 9am to 6pm or Saturdays from 9am to 1pm. We offer additional pickup locations around Bozeman, Livingston, and Big Sky. Keep your eye out for communication this week confirming your Summer CSA and providing details for pickup. If you need to update your pickup location, you can respond to our communication!

CSA boxes this week continue to provide lots of spring greens! We have an exciting addition this week… hero flour corn from Quinn Institute in Big Sandy, Montana. Hero flour corn is a dry land crop that and be used in a variety of ways, primarily for its soft starch and balanced protein. It's excellent for fluffy cornbread and binding in pancakes and tortillas. Check out the recipes linked below on how to use hero corn flour for homemade cornbread! Dry land crops are great for produce that require limited rainfall and no additional irrigation. We would love your feedback on whether you would like to see hero corn flour or similar dry land crops in your future CSA as we consider incorporating these types of proceed here at the farm.
