Hi Everyone,
After reviewing the weather forecast I have to say I am very concerned if we are going to be able to pull off a harvest for our last week of csa shares.
The weather is expected to be quite cold & a lot of precip as well. I am worried there will be snow on the ground and sloppy fields that will affect our ability to harvest.
This would be the first time Danny & I have failed to make our share quota and that's disturbing to both of us.
As we contemplate our options we have a conversation about "making it up" to our members. As a business person I want to come up with the plan to make things fair, but as your csa farmer I am supposed to ask for your understanding that the season didn't give us what we needed. The weather just didn't cooperate when we needed it.
I do want you to know that if we do end up having to end the season before we get that last week out to you it will be with a heavy heart and twisted gut because I just hate to disappoint people and fail from getting a crop to harvest.
Danny & I have managed to keep this crop alive, but just didn't get the growth we needed-now that we're so close it looks like the weather is going to give out on us. I will stay positive and hope for the best, but I do want to give everyone heads up that there is a good possibility the csa season is over.
I am posting some photos I took of the greens last week. The are rows out there, and I'm hoping for the best!
As always thank you for your understanding & support!
Your Organic Farmers,
Danny & Michelle Lutz
