2013 CSA

At Caruso Farm we are planning for a new growing season and some planting has already begun.  We're excited to get our hands dirty both planting and harvesting and we hope you will join us this year.  Our Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA, subscriptions will begin in June, depending on weather.  As a member, you will receive a box of freshly harvested produce once a week for 20 weeks.  Joining any farm CSA program is a commitment.  That being said, we have found that members seize the opportunity to learn to be an adventuresome cook, and better yet, enjoy being a healthy adventuresome eater!

We think our CSA is a special one in that our farm is entirely run by our family and nearly everything in our boxes is grown on our land.  You will not see California grown produce, but what you eat will be grown in our fields just a few miles from your home.

The link at the top of the page will take you to our registration form.  It also explains a little more about how we grow our produce and why we grow it, as well as what it means to be a CSA member of Caruso Farm.  We invite you to join the CSA experience.

Spring Happenings

In February the hoop-houses were rototilled and the beds prepared for seeds and transplants

The transplants that germinated on heat pads indoors are moved to unheated hoop-houses to be hardened off. 

We spread a few tons of lime and plowed the first fields for spring plantings of potatoes, onions, broccoli, spinach and a few other vegetables.

The first plants are in the ground under the dry cover of the high tunnels.  The forecast is for a stretch of dry weather, so we hope to plant the first fields next week.
