One Week to CSA Day

February 15th, 2018 | Author: chadn1

Friday the 23rd is officially CSA day. We get started way before that. Today we got our first new seed packets for the year. Last week we ordered more than $330 of seeds and plants for the upcoming year and we aren’t done.

If you are interested in what we think we will be growing this year take a look at this document.

Complete Seed List for 2018 w/perennials

We are not sure that we are planting everything on this list but it will give you a good idea of what we are considering. We will be planting things from every category even if we only plant 5 kinds of carrots instead of all of them. If we run out of space we may save some seed for next year.

We still have several shares available including at least 2 full shares and 5 short season shares.

You can find more info on the cost and what is available here.

Join us for the 2018 Season we are getting excited about it.

About GI Acres CSA

GI Acres is located on the western edge of Grand Island, Nebraska. The garden takes up about half of an acre. We also have chickens, rabbits and bees

Our farm is not USDA Certified Organic and we do not anticipate applying for such status. We strive to produce healthy vegetables using natural methods of fertilizing, building soil, and controlling pests such as insects and weeds. Those healthy vegetables will begin in mid to late May with herbs, asparagus, rhubarb and strawberries. During the season you can expect a variety of greens, beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, squash, corn and potatoes along with tips about how to cook and preserve your weekly share. The season will conclude in late September or early October. We aim for a 20-week season.

We did not grow up on farms but we did grow up in families with large gardens, eating a variety of fresh produce and canning/freezing the excess. We have maintained the tradition of growing and preserving food for our family for the past 20+ years. GI Acres is our attempt to share that passion for good food with our community.
