Spring Has Sprung!


I know, I know: I've cursed us all.  As soon as you write a sentence like that, it is bound to snow the very next day.  And even in Pennsylvania, the odds are good that it's likely to be a real, actual blizzard.  But after the mildest winter we can remember, we are tired of pretending that our snowboots will protect us from anything but mud or that this will be the year for terrific cross-country skiing at Okehocking.  Plus, we just used up the last of our oven-dried plum tomatoes from the freezer.  We say, bring on the spring.

Rumor has it, the spring planting at Rushton Farm is already well underway.  To whet your appetites, in addition to the photo, above, from the Rushton Farm herb garden last spring, here are some important dates to mark in your calendars.


May 5-6, Plant Sale at Rushton Farm
May 29, First CSA Pick Up at Rushton Farm
June 2, Celebrating Rushton, a Fancy Farm Dinner

Stay tuned for an update from Farmer Fred and some recipes incorporating the gorgeous spring ingredients starting to crop up all over town, plus a few things stowed away from last autumn.  Get ready for a new season at Rushton Farm!
