What an amazing weekend we had with Family… We celebrated my parents 30th Anniversary with a huge surprise party… and that meant all the family was gathered together.. It was great
and then today when everyone was lounging at the pond Dad and I planted all of the celery, basil, parsley, thyme, rosemary head lettuce, and the eggplant… Now mother nature help us out and let it grow…
There is nothing greater then the sweet smell of spring after a gentle rain… now don’t get me worng we have had enough rain now… but Today take time to savor the smell of Spring…and the sound of birds peeping… and the bight greens that have popped on trees and in the ground…
– Did some work in the onion patch this weekend, got the rows all nice and wedding… Dad always says you cannot try to grow two crops in one row, weeds and plants can’t grow together, usual the weeds will win… Well weeds you will not be winning over our onion patch this year…
– Asparagus is looking amazing we just keep enjoying it fresh
– Have lots of little pepper plants that have been in the “greenhouse” since February that are ready to get put into the soil…
Taught a great cooking class tonight… we made delish fish…chicken wing soup…with cornbread waffles… Mama Meyer’s Green Beans…asparagus tart …. and chocolate gourmet dessert… and each meal can be prepared for under ten dollars…
Got two more CSA members tonight… only a few spots left let us know if you want in on vegetable goodness!!!
Picked some delicious asparagus from the garden this afternoon… so excited to be eating fresh again this season…
Joe did some more plowing today… the earth is looking dark and rich:)

Introducing …..
The Harvest Patch
Farm Fresh Produce CSA
We are a family run produce farm located in the heart of Sheldon New York, only 8 miles east of East Aurora right on Route 20 a, one mile into the rolling hills of Wyoming County among the wind powered windmills. We have been growing the best corn and pumpkins in Wyoming County for 23 years and this year are throwing our hat into the ring of a Community Supported Agriculture Community.
Our CSA will run from the last week in June to the last week in October. Each week we will pack members bags full of farm fresh produce that is grown out of our family farm soil. Produce varies from week to week based on what is in season. Pick up will be available from our farm, as well as in East Aurora.
What makes our CSA so special…
First of all the vegetables are planted by Joe Meyer the man born with a green thumb on each hand…
Second we are keeping our CSA small, we are only allowing a very limited number of memberships, we feel that by keeping our member number lower that we will be able to provide more to the luck ones that are our members…
Third is the weekly bonus item… Every week in your produce bag you will receive a handmade bonus items, made by one of the Meyer ladies, baked goodies, jams, jellies, and maple syrup are just to name a few….
