Week of March 8 on Ledge Top Farm

It is with a heavy heart that I share that I will be leaving my position as farm manager at Ledge Top Farm next week to accept a new position working in agricultural research and will be moving to Boston. It has been an honor providing the Ledge Top community with fresh produce each week and helping to shape the farm into what it is today. I have learned so much from Tom and all of you and will always cherish the years I got to spend on such a special farm with such great people.

Going forward, all orders and farm-related communication should be sent directly to Tom at tom.mitchell9@icloud.com or by phone at 603 620-7302.

Ledge Top Farm is now actively seeking a new farm manager to take over immediately and work throughout the season. The farm manager position is a great way to get full time hands on experience working in regenerative agriculture. If you or someone you know is interested in the role, please contact Tom (tom.mitchell9@icloud.com).

The operations of the farm will continue as usual, all CSA orders should be sent to Tom and can always be picked up at the farm or farmers markets once they start up.

Happy daylight savings! We hope everyone is enjoying the warm weather and later sunsets. Lots of options for fresh veggies available this week! Fresh, vibrant Tokyo bekana is perfect for salad or stir fry. Delicious red radishes with a mild flavor and great crunch. Green garlic is ready, it is similar to a spring onion, but with a strong garlic flavor! Use the white bottom just like you would clove garlic and the lighter green tops as a flavorful garnish.

This little taste of the spring to come is much needed on the farm. We finished raspberry pruning last week and have lots of veggies growing and on the way. Come spring, we will have red russian kale, spinach, french breakfast radishes, romaine lettuce, green leaf lettuce, salad mix, and more available for order or pickup at the Peterborough market in April!

Here’s what’s available this week:

Eggs $7 per dozen 

Green garlic $3 per bunch

Hearty greens mix $5 per bunch

Radishes $3 per bunch

Tokyo bekana $3 per bunch

To place your order, email tom.mitchell9@icloud.com with a list of what you would like, and the date and time you will pick up. You will receive a reply when your order is confirmed. If you do not hear back within a few hours, please email again to confirm.

Enjoy the warm weather this week and thank you all!

Explore The Benefits of CSA

Community Supported Agriculture has so much to offer!

Better-tasting, nutrient-rich, fresh produce

WHY?

Fruits and vegetables can be picked at their prime. This means your produce isn't over-ripening during processing, packaging and transit

Environmentally friendly organic farming

WHY?

Chemical-free produce means no groundwater pollution from pesticides and fertilizers, which means better drinking water

New varieties chain grocers don't stock

WHY?

Unlike industrial agriculture, local farms have the flexibility to grow hard-to-find heirloom varieties. This means you get to discover new crops and find new favorites!

So many advantages to participating in Community Supported Agriculture...

... AND THERE'S MORE!
