If I had a CSA, and they offered quality tomatoes at their stand but didn't send me any, I would be very very cross. I've considered a CSA a few times, and that angle never even crossed my mind. I *assumed* (possibly incorrectly) that the best would go to those who pre-paid. But, of course, if one considered short term profit, the CSA members already paid. I expect that sort of CSA has limited lifetime. |

To be honest, I saw the tomatoes on Saturday and our pickup is on Tuesday. It's too early for "real" tomato season so I'm pretty sure the ones we got the previous week and that were for sale were from the hothouse - we'll see what happens when tomatoes really come in in July or so. |

Farmer John sent out an email yesterday asking if everybody enjoyed the Strawberries and to let us know that the season is over and that the field will be getting mowed today for next year. I asked if I could go and pick any stragglers last night and he told me it would be OK. I went last night with 6 quart containers which I filled in about 40 minutes. There are still lots of berries that could be picked, but they are about half the size of the ones that I picked last weekend. I'm sorry that I didn't take more containers. Even though they are small, they are still very good. |

Bad news from Farmer John. We had a very intense 2.5" of rain in a little over an hour yesterday that has most of the fields under water. With the season as late as it's been, it looks like we are going to lose some crops because they haven't been able to grow enough to take this much water. It looks like our deliveries are going to be small this Fall. |

That's sad, but it's the unfortunate potential consequence of CSAs. Hope it turns out better than it sounds now. Amy |

Todd - hope they are able to salvage some of the crop. Too bad we can't send some of that rain Amy's way. We have fields with standing water here, too. And just last fall we were in severe drought. Crazy. |

Darcie, Amy, Todd: We just got a freak rainstorm here in CA this monday (I apologized to Carey for the weather). So we can forget about the Northern Cal tomato crop. Not sure how it'll affect the wine, either. |

It was nonstop rain here at home too while we were in San Francisco. Crazy, dreary summer!!! My herbs have all bolted. It won't be a great crop year here either. Our farmers markets are still pretty thin; mainly hot house stuff. |
