Happy International Children's Day! The days keep getting longer and summer share season arrives in just a couple of weeks so let's dive right in:

• Save the date - the start dates for share pickups are here!

• Ember gives us a progress report from the fields. What's growing and where is the rain?

• Need a break? Sign up for work hours and join the Stearns crew down at the farm.

• Spring brings salads. Check out two scrumptious takes on the standard below.

As a reminder, the deadline to sign up for the pre-bagged option is June 7th. Email Barbara at admin@stearnsfarmcsa.org to opt-in for the 2020 Summer Season.
