Say "Hello" to Erika!

Let me introduce you to one of Moose Hill Farm's three apprentices...

"My name is Erika Rumbley and I’m one of the apprentices at Moose Hill Farm. I caught the farming bug nine seasons ago in upstate New York and have been growing food ever since. Before joining the Moose Hill Farm crew, I served as the Garden Educator for Boston Natural Areas Network (an urban open space land trust, affiliated with TTOR). I had the pleasure of sharing the tools for sustainable, urban agriculture with community gardeners from all corners of the city. Previously I served as the founding organizer for the Providence Community Growers Network, a co-op of community gardens, school gardens and urban farms. I may be a North Carolina native, but I have fallen hard for New England and am honored to continue contributing to this incredible food system we are building together. I’m delighted to work alongside such a motivated and kind bunch of staff and work shares. I look forward to chatting with each of you this season about our growing practices here at the farm or how to cook a vegetable that is new to you! Thank you all for supporting our first season at Moose Hill Farm."

Currently you can find Erika working the Thursday CSA pick up and the Saturday Farm Stand at Bird Park.  That's right, our farm stands have started for the season!  Be sure to let your friends and neighbors know that they can now purchase Moose Hill Farm vegetables either on Thursdays from 1:30-6:30 pm at the farm or on Saturdays from 9am-12pm at Bird Park in Walpole.

The CSA pick-up hours will remain the same this week, even on the 4th of July.  This week in your share you will have lots of sugar snap peas to pick in the PYO fields (don't forget those rain boots!).  Under the tent you will find lettuce, radicchio, kale, cabbage, beets, radishes, cauliflower, summer squash, fresh white onions, lemon basil, parsley, and just in time for Independence Day, red, white and blue potatoes!
