Harvest Highlights: Week 1 CSA News & Updates

Farm Fresh and Finally Here!

Let the Harvest Begin — Welcome to Week 1 of Your 2025 CSA!

It’s finally here — the first week of your Pahl Farms CSA share! We know you’ve been dreaming of that fresh-picked produce, and we’re so glad you’re along for the ride this season. Thank you for supporting local and being part of our farm family!

First pickup is happening this week, so get ready for a box full of farm-fresh goodness. Once you’ve picked up your share, we highly recommend heading straight home to unpack. These veggies are fresh from the field and prefer cool storage — not a sunny car seat or steamy kitchen counter. Lay out some newspaper, spread your items out, and check the newsletter photos to help you ID what’s what. Give things a gentle shake to knock off any loose soil — and remember, don’t wash until you’re ready to eat!

Also included with your share this week: Gift cards! You’ll receive two $20 gift cards this week.  They’ll be in a labeled envelope at your pickup site. Be sure to take yours before you leave — we can’t replace them if they’re lost or left behind.

Last but not least, we encourage you to read our weekly CSA emails. We keep them fun, short(ish), and full of tips and updates to help you get the most from your share.  Here’s to a great growing season!

What’s in the Box?
Without further ado, we’re excited to kick off the 2025 CSA season with a fresh and flavorful first share. This week’s box includes kale, kohlrabi, broccoli, rhubarb, strawberries, and bok choy — a well-rounded selection of greens, vegetables, and a touch of seasonal sweetness. From hearty cooking greens to crisp raw snacks, there’s plenty to enjoy as you ease into the season.

If you’re new to our CSA newsletter, welcome! Each week, we’ll share a few reliable, easy-to-follow recipes to help you get the most out of your share. These have been gathered over the years and are especially helpful when working with less familiar items like kohlrabi or bok choy. Whether you’re cooking something new or leaning on an old favorite, we’re here to help you make it delicious.  Scroll to the end of this newsletter for links to the recipes.
