The Moon Bear is Growing in Bounty and Beauty

This is bounty of our first weekly box.
Hello Moon Bears,

Our 2013 season is bursting open with bounty and beauty. This year we are changing our successful CSA format. So why mess with a good thing. We want to make our food even more user friendly and flexible in format.  Instead of delivering a weekly box filled to the brim whether you need it or not, we are making the weekly box an order as you go affair. 
Our first box for 2013

Here's our new format:
  • I'll send a blog out on Saturday morning with a photo and listing of what we have available for the box. See the approx. box size on the left. We will have .5 to 1.2 bushels of fresh, vitalized victuals filled with only the good earth, sun and prayers.
  • Delivery or pick up will be only on Mondays, with exception of pick ups at the Tuesday or Thursday Farmer's Markets.
  • The price for each box or organic veggies will be as follows:
  1. $20 You pick up the box at the Art Farm on Monday.
  2. $25 Pick up at Millennium Bulk Materials in Longview or my Tuesday and Thursday farmer's market in July.
  3. $30 I deliver to downtown Vancouver, Battle Ground area between 2 and 5PM. Possible delivery to North Portland when I am coming into town.
  •  Cash payment or credit card/debit card please.
  • Call me or email me on Saturday or Sunday before 6PM
  • Usually only 5 slots available. First come first served.  If we are low on items one week, a smaller box with lower price will be available.

Ruby chard
Lettuce: butterhead and gourmet mix
Small broccoli
Red and Walla Walla onions
Sweet spinach

Thanks

Lots of bounty buzzing around the Moon Bear this year!
 
We have doubled our crop area again this year. Now an acre+ under soulful cultivation. A 72 foot long, cathedral shaped greenhouse is going up one bag of concrete and one steel arch at a time over the already growing garden. Today we called to the compassionate spirits in all the directions and asked Creator to bless the fertile land. A hush and a vibratory light filled the arches of the greenhouse, with its roof still wide open to the sky. A moment of stillness.

We intend to give as much back as we receive from the Earth. In that light, we've analyzed our soils scientifically and spiritually, adding needed trace elements like boron, copper, manganese and calcium. The lab report came back and recommended that we do not add any more compost into the soil. They said that the soil has enough organic matter as it is for now. Can we have enough of a good thing like compost? Maybe so. Hmm.

Farmer's Markets start in July. Stay tuned.

Also, check out our new, in process, website:

Hope to see you this year. Come and visit.

Love,
Rick
