Dear Farm Friends,
Happy April! If you have not already done so, you may want to join the farm right now. We are filling at a rate that could have us filled up sooner than later. The farm is now in full swing. We are starting so many seeds. All of our employees are working full days. This time of year can be part winter, part spring. Some days are warm and some days it snows. We are here for all of it! It can be really frustrating to plan around the weather as a farmer. The weather is one of our largest obstacles. Rain, shine, hail, tornados, whatever gets thrown at us, we manage to grow food through all of it. Follow along with us on social media @monroeorganicfarm .
*New* Arvada Distribution Center: We have added a new Distribution Center in Arvada at West Ridge Road & Kipling. For those of you who previously picked up at Wheat Ridge, in Golden, or off of Simms, please consider checking out this new location as it may be more convenient for you. Always feel free to call Linda in the office to discuss your options. We love to hear from you.
Wheat Ridge Distribution Center: We are now full at our Wheat Ridge DC.
Farmers Market: We had an awesome first couple Saturdays at Boulder Farmers Market. We are now popping our popcorn there! We will be attending City Park Farmers Market at the City Park Esplanade in Denver each Saturday starting May 13th. Come see us! We love to see our members at market! Our market offering currently include: seedlings for your garden, storage potatoes, cabbage, onions, & garlic, plus popcorn both popped and unpopped.
Our Giveaway: Thank you to all who participated and signed up early! You were all entered to win a free quarter share. Congratulations to our winners, Alicia & Mark.
Moving away from the blog, to MailChimp: Please subscribe to our MailChimp on our website monroefarm.com ! If you got an email about our giveaway, we automatically subscribed you. We hope to get our newsletters and all communications out into the world and into your hands via MailChimp. Eventually, we will go totally paper free and our newsletter will only be available via MailChimp.
Zelle payments: Please contact the office if you are sending payments through Zelle and the name on your bank account is different than the name of your farm account. We unfortunately can’t see if you have inserted a memo on your payment on our end.
Tell your friends about us: Email us for information packets about the farm if you have any interested friends or family.
Asparagus: Don’t forget to call or email the office to put your name on the wait-list for you-pick asparagus! We need to know your name, phone number, and if you’re available to pick weekends, weekdays, or both! If you can, sign up for the weekdays as the majority of members are signing up for weekends. We like to spread everyone out so picking groups are not too big. We do not know yet when the asparagus will be ready. It can grow up to 6 inches overnight. So far, nothing has sprouted through the dirt.
“Our ability to perceive quality in nature begins, as in art, with the pretty. It expands through successive stages of the beautiful to values as yet uncaptured by language.” -Aldo Leopold
Thank you! Kyle, Sam, Jacquie, & Jerry
