NOTES FROM THE FIELD
Welcome and welcome back to the Finca Tres Robles CSA!!
It’s been 50.5 months since we packed a CSA. Can you believe that!?
In some ways that’s so hard to believe and in others our time to transition has felt even longer than that. I’m relieved and excited to have this program back up and running again and grateful to have your support.
As it’s been so long since we did this, we will have to get some wrinkles out of the system. As we test out some new ideas for our CSA, we don’t expect it to go perfectly and we do expect to give you all a positive experience.
Our hope with this initial 12-week CSA run is to hear your feedback and any concerns to help us improve the program as we continue to get our feet under ourselves to grow it over time
If you run into an issue or have a question let us know. We’ll do our best to resolve it and I hope you’ll give us some grace as we incorporate this program back into our week to week farming muscle.
Don’t forget!!! – If you miss picking up your box on a Wed or a Sat, you can pick it up on the following Sat or Wed. But we’ll give it away by the following week.
I’m so excited and appreciative to have your support again helping us bring the freshest produce to your kitchen while also supporting our farm team, Texas farming community, and food access programs at the same time.
See you soon!
Tommy

This is our first harvest of the season. It should be nice and tender. It can be eaten raw and we love it lightly cooked. |

Carrots (Finca) |
Enjoy! |
