SHAME, SHAME

Shame on you, you seemingly honest woman who STOLE a fruit share from Clintonville Market this week. It is apparent you can't go anywhere without dishonest, conniving people taking what doesn't belong to them. Try and steal a share again, you might not be so lucky!

For our members, who support our farm and enjoy our products every week, we will be instituting a new procedure for pick ups. Obviously, we do our best to get to know you and hope that by now, we do. But if we don't, accept our apology, we are working on it.

Members of the fruit and vegetable CSA, please check your email for new procedure regarding pick up. I'm sorry to inconvenience you or your friend or family member that has so nicely offered to pick up for you, but we have no choice. I will not allow for thieves to steal your shares. I'm sure you understand.

Thanks to those of you who support our farm honestly! We appreciate your business and hope that you'll continue to grow with us!

June 14th Market

Will it be rain or shine this Saturday? That is the question. Rain always makes the market day seem long and well, boring. Only the dedicated come out and even then, they don't want to be there. Somehow they know, that if they don't, they will have punished themselves with bad food all week long!

Well, rain or shine, we're planning to have:

- English Peas
- Hakurei Turnips
- French Breakfast, Plum Purple and Helios Radishes
- Arugula
- Mini Head Lettuce (Red Oak and Romaine)
- Mesclun Mix
- Braising Mix
- Lettuce Mix
- Broccoli Raab
- Green Lance Broccolini
- Swiss Chard (maybe?)

For those of you interested in CSA and what it's all about, here's a picture of a two person share that went out last Saturday. Right now, members expect greens, and lots of them. Obviously, it gets more colorful as the season goes on.

We look forward to seeing you at the market this week...rain or shine!

June 7th Market


It's been a little wet this week, to say the least. While the rain does good for new seedlings, it's not fun to work in. Our first Wednesday market at Whole Foods was quiet considering the weather.

In addition to North Market, it will be our first week at Clintonville and Worthington. This week look for:

- Baby Pac Choi
- Braising Mix
- Mesclun Mix
- Tatsoi
- Arugula
- Curly Cress
- Micro Greens
- Shunkyo Radish
- French Breakfast Radish
- Plum Purple Radish
- Helios Radish
- Hakurei Turnips
- Broccoli Raab

You'll find us in the Graeter's parking lot if you're traveling to Worthington Market.

This is also the first week for fruit and vegetable CSA pick ups. Be sure to check your first pick up date (for those members on a bi-weekly) and your pick up location. Here's hoping I have everything right!

A New Year

Ahhhh, the season has begun here at Wayward Seed. Cool wet weather has given way to excellent growing conditions. Weekly rain with increased temperatures really made things jump. Beautiful greens and baby root vegetables will be harvested this week. We have some of the finest arugula and mesclun mix the farm has ever produced. You should see baby turnips, radishes, and some broccoli raab this week. Spring peas are approximately a week away, they will be sweet like candy. There is a ton of work to do this week in addition to the farmers markets. Transplants like huckleberries and ground cherries will go in on Sunday. Oh, the weeds are not going away either. We purchased a new wheel hoe to eliminate lambsquarters, pigweed and our archenemy THE CANADIAN THISTLE. Yes, the worst Canadian import ever...Wish us luck in the battle to keep Wayward Seed weed free. See you at the market!!!
