Field Notes: We’ve entered a dry, windy, warm spell. The last few days have been sunny, with temperatures in the mid to high 60’s which feels unseasonably warm, especially compared to last year. There is no rain in the foreseeable future. If February is dry, we will have some early planting windows for the spring and early summer crops but of course, we need more rain! March might be wetter than February, cross your fingers! Onions and kale are in the ground and the smell of cilantro is in the air.

Box Notes: We will include oranges from Blue Heron, Rumsey, in this week’s veggie box. They are certified organically grown by CCOF.

You can order Blue Heron navel oranges from the webstore: https://csa.farmigo.com/store/riverdogfarmcsa. 10 lbs. for $20 or 20 lbs. for $40! Place your order soon. These sweet oranges are going fast.
