MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS

Week 50/52 of 2022

Dear Farm Members,

As we continue easing our fields out of production for the winter, progressively more and more of the items in your boxes will be coming from our partner farms- Fully Belly Farm, Coke Farm, Riverdog, Terra Firma, Pinnacle, Super Tuber, Feeding Crane, and Natural Trading company. A few items, mainly storage crops like potatoes and carrots (extra sweet from all these cold nights), will continue to come from us for as long as our supply allows! We are ever grateful for the support of these farmer friends, and for the opportunity to provide produce through our CSA year-round. The collaborative network we’ve built together with these folks has allowed us to extend the season for our members, rest our fields, and support fellow organic farmers with similar ethics and growing practices to our own. We’re stronger together! 

As we start planning for next year, we're looking to hire for our first-year farmer positions and management positions for the 2023 season. If you, or anyone you know, would be interested, check out our postings here: https://mountainbountyfarm.com/joinourteam. We offer competitive wages, paid vacation, paid sick leave, bonuses, 401k after one year, and a whole lot of veggies. It's a great place to work!

Enjoy your shares week,

Grace

Week 49/52 of 2022

Dear Farm Members,

What a joy to have all this rain! And more to come! We rely on the rain we receive during winter months to irrigate throughout the entirety of the 'dry' season, which seems to get longer every year. It's a relief to see this precipitation materialize, here to fill up our figurative buckets. 

This week, our winter crew will gather and put our heads together to order all the seeds we need for the 2023 season. This is a fun collaborative process with lots of price shopping and triple checking numbers to make sure we buy the right number of seeds. Fun fact, we ordered 300,000 scallion seeds for the year!

May this week find you all keeping cozy with full bellies, family, and friends amidst some wonderfully cozy weather. 

Enjoy your shares week,

Grace

CSA Newsletter Week 48 (11/30 & 12/1)

MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS

Week 48/52 of 2022

Dear Farm Members,

One of the fun parts about farming is that some crops do better each year, and some simply.. do worse. At our end of year review, we spend a lot of time discussing each crop and how it did this season. We'll talk about pests, irrigation, disease, weather, etc and try to decipher what went wrong (or right) and how we can adapt for next year. In a lot of ways, farming is just running endless experiments with unlimited variables.

This season, our worst crop was beets. And if you haven't noticed, our logo is a beet bunch, so this was a big loss for us. While we did think to ourselves, maybe we should just finally change the logo to a broccoli head, we persevered and continued planting beets, hoping they would defeat their many nemesis and finally provide enough to give to all our CSA members. This is that week. For those of you who do not enjoy beets (approximately 20% of our survey responders), we are here to help. We've added extra beet recipes to help inspire your next great beet meal.

Enjoy your shares week,

Grace

MOUNTAIN BOUNTY FARM NEWS

Week 47/52 of 2022

Reminder: We deliver shares for both Western Nevada County and Tahoe/Truckee/Reno on Wednesday, November 23rd. Pickup times and CSA sites remain the same. Have a great Thanksgiving!

Dear Farm Members,

As many of us gather with our friends and family this week and reflect on the many things we have to be grateful for, we'd like to take a moment to appreciate the Nisenan, who have inhabited and stewarded this region of foothills and river canyons for thousands of years, and represent a powerful voice within our community.

November marks Nisenan Heritage month, as well as Native American Heritage month in California. This is a great time to take a moment to learn about the Nisenan Rancheria and their constant work towards regaining federal recognition, as well as to fully appreciate their long history in this place. 

Mountain Bounty operates entirely on unceded Nisenan Land - every item in your boxes, any produce that you purchase from us at Briar Patch or at Farmers market, is as much a result of their work to care for this land as it is ours. An incredible cause to support, and every little bit helps. To learn more, or to donate, check out their website at Nisenan.org.


Enjoy your shares week,

Grace

Week 46/52 of 2022

Reminder: Next week, we deliver on Wednesday (11/23) for Thanksgiving. All pickup sites and times remain the same. If you are going to be out of town, you can place your share on hold by FRIDAY (11/18) at 11pm.

Dear Farm Members,

This is the last week of our regular season, meaning we say goodbye to some of our First Year Farmers and other part-time folk, and our crew shrinks down to the year-round folk who will be sticking around for another season at Mountain Bounty Farm. Each year we are extremely blessed to be surrounded by hard-working, intelligent, curious and interesting people who want to work here and it's especially hard to see them go. We wish them well on their next adventure!

These last few days together will be filled with meetings discussing everything from irrigation to pest problems from our marketing strategy to our shopping list for next season. We'll also evaluate every crop we've grown over the past 9 months and look at how it did for us and how often we were able to give it in the CSA shares. And this is where you come in! We look at our CSA survey data about which crops you love and which crops you could bear to see less often in your boxes. We take this into consideration and leave this week of meetings with our crop plan for 2023.

So with that, a quick reminder to fill out our vegetable CSA survey so we can grow more of what you love in 2023! We'll select three winners for a free box on Friday.

Enjoy your shares week,

Grace
