Stearns Farm CSA

It's hard to believe CSA pickups under the pavilion start in just a couple of months! Let's see what's buzzing in the fields (and beyond) this week:

• Ember introduces some exciting improvements to this year's Seedling Sale shopping options.

• Our Stearns cookbook is almost ready to go...

• What better way to safely celebrate Earth Day together - sign up and share your progress.

• The Chestnut Farms Meat CSA Summer Season starts soon. Don't miss out!

• Whether you've only got half an hour or the entire day, your taste buds will tango.

We are aware of the display problems some subscribers may be experiencing. We are working to resolve the issue and in the meantime, catch all the latest Stearns news on our site and social media.

Happy Earth Day (4/22), enjoy the April sunshine and showers and see you again in two weeks. Until then, stay healthy, happy and bright!

Getting Ready for the Sale

Our seedling sale is right around the corner!

Last year was our first attempt at accepting online orders and we learned a lot about how we can improve things for you as well as for ourselves. It’s a busy time of the year at the farm so we want to make sure we can set realistic expectations for our staff while providing you with the best seedlings possible.

During last spring's unprecedented meat shortages in supermarkets across the country, I decided to try a meat share for the first time.

I can say with full confidence that Chestnut Farms of Hardwick, MA produces the best meat I've ever eaten.

Eat Your Share

Whether it's Taco Tuesday or Taco Thursday, the Slow-Cooker Chipotle Beef Tacos with Cabbage and Radish Slaw are so rich and delicious, they may soon become a weekly staple.

And Kim over at Chestnut Farms recommended one of her all-time favorites during a recent share pick up. The Sheet-Pan Baked Feta with Broccolini, Tomatoes and Lemon is quick, easy and a perfect companion to a dinner entree or just as delicious flying solo. Bon appétit!

With over 500 entries, our recipe archive is a great way to explore new and classic dishes using our delicious produce.
