- Subject: [Market-farming] Now What?
- Date: Fri, 3 Sep 2010 16:11:32 -0700
I really meant to get the winter rye that I planted last fall tilled in or mowed down or something. But it was too wet/cold/, I was too busy doing something else important.... Now I have about 1/2 acre of winter rye that has huge rye berries on it and I don't know what to do. Suggestions????? Thinking of removing the rye berries (by hand) and down the standing straw ( by hand) and using it to mulch in my garlic. See any problems with this idea???? thanks in advance. I am new to cover cropping and do realize that I missed the whole point of planting the rye in the first place.... alicia in northern wa Date: Wed, 1 Sep 2010 15:57:10 -0300 From: jenanddereksfarm AT gmail.com To: market-farming AT lists.ibiblio.org Subject: Re: [Market-farming] Alternative CSA Models Hi, We have a fairly small CSA in PEI, Canada and I use the swap box method. I harvest about 2-3 extra shares worth of veggies and herbs and into the swap box they go. I also take lesser loved veggies in the swap box as well. This is our first year using the swap box and its VERY popular!!! Cabbage seems to be a popular item to put back into the swap box, it is also a way for people to take extra if they want too. I found one common comment on our season end surveys was there were too many vegetables each week in the box. Our shares are $20/week but can often be valued at $25-28 dollars in a good growing season. The swap box is a way to keep the shares around $22-24 and then people can take extra if they want. Seems to work well for us. I am curious as to what members will say on the surveys this year.
