First Farmer Joe's Garden Share of the Season

So exciting!    FarmerJoesGarden  The first few weeks are a bit 'iffy' with what you can get.  You could delete everything they put in your cart and start from scratch.  Since I'm growing Kale (they had 2 different kinds in my cart) I deleted those.  They had 2 pounds of Greenhouse tomatoes in my cart, I lowered it to 1.  We don't care for the cheese as its raw, and I'm afraid to risk it with my Crohns.  I also pulled out the honey they had, as we have lots of honey at home.  

After deducting all of these items, I added a potted herb garden (they did this last year, I love that they are doing it again) and Royal Trumpet Mushrooms.  They applied my full share weekly amount, and I have to bring a balance due of .83 cents at pickup. 

They are now using their own platform for their store and share holders.  I hope it works out well for them, so far so good on my end.   I found out later that they originally did their own platform before they used Harvey.  I wonder why they switched out of their own.  They are back in it as Harvey has closed.  

With that aside, I thought I would share with you photos (finally did photos of the farm!)  I didn't get  everything, but will take more as the weeks go on.  Enjoy!

My 'basket'


Mushrooms, Swiss Chard 1# of tomatoes, eggs under the focaccia (paid extra for two of these)



And the chicks!  So adorable.  Did you know they offer a rent a chick program?  For a flat fee they deliver a coop, chickens and all you need for a set length of time, to see if you are ready to be a chick parent.  



I also received an Herb Garden (and purchased another for my daughter while there)  I will post a photo of that in another post.  As a member, the 'prices' in my basket are a bit less than in store.  They also have a 'points' system, where you can earn free items or $ off.  They are a generous farm.
