CSA Balance Due
If you haven’t already paid, your balance is due this week. You can pay online through your account, mail a check to Evening Song Farm 48 Nice Road, Cuttingsville VT 05738, or leave a check in the CSA cash box at the barn. It’s very cool to pay in smaller chunks, just let us know what your payment plan is. You can also email or call us to pay with EBT.
If you get an auto email about a balance due, either pay that, or reach out if you think it’s wrong. It helps reduce our computer work load if payments are taken care of when a notice goes out. Thanks!

This Week’s Availability
This week we will have leeks, green kohlrabi, cilantro, baby lettuce, mini lettuce heads, spinach, claytonia, baby bok choi, green curly kale, red beets, yellow beets, carrots, garlic, yellow onions, purple and white daikon radishes, baby kale, mesclun mix, green napa cabbage, watermelon radish, salad turnips, brussels tops, celeriac, green cabbage, tetsukabuto squash*, and red and yellow potatoes.
*What is tetsukabuto squash? This is a large, ribbed dark green squash with bright orange, sweet, creamy flavorful flesh. It takes several weeks to cure and have those starches convert to sugars, but is finally ready to enjoy. It’s a beast to cut into, but worth the effort. You can simply cut it in half and bake it upside down, and enjoy like that. Or really any other way you enjoy preparing a winter squash.
Ordering closes at noon on Tuesdays for Wednesday bags, and at midnight on Wednesdays for Friday bags.
You do not need to fill out the form if you plan to come to the barn on Wednesdays or Thursdays to pick out your items yourself.
