Field Notes: California had its driest February on record. Not one drop of rain fell in this region or in mostly all of California. This drought has led to a whole month of irrigation. The Redbud tree and some wildflowers are blooming a month early. They are supposed to make their appearance in April, but due to the warmer, dry weather, they think it is spring.

Box Notes: The Farm Store is updated every week with more items, varieties and variations as the vegetables are harvested. Get your Easter Holiday hams. You can buy now or send an email to your CSA manager – csa@riverdogfarm.com to reserve one.

  • Add Riverdog Farm CCOF certified organic eggs to your weekly or bi-weekly CSA delivery. Just follow this link: https://csa.farmigo.com/account/riverdogfarmcsa

  • Meat birds will be arriving on the 16th of March. We do have a few that are around 3 pounds left for this week. If they are not claimed, they will go to market. Asparagus is harvested and is exclusively at the markets…for now. Carrots will be harvested in the CSA boxes soon. Or, you can pick them up and our other veggies at one of the 3 Berkeley markets or the Sunday market in Sacramento.

  • Hams have arrived. Place your orders for spring hams by 9:00 am, Monday April 6, 2020 to ensure a timely delivery. We have a limited supply of hams so place your order early. The weight range is 8-11.5 lbs per ham. Riverdog Farm hams are smoked and cured at Roundman’s in Ft. Bragg. They are delivered in a cooler, frozen to your CSA delivery site. Please bring the cooler back to the drop site so others can enjoy their meat deliveries too.
