Ode to week 4

June 27, 2019 By Persephone

[We’re sharing our email to CSA subscriber, enjoy. And it’s not to late to join our CSA.]

Cauliflower with leaves

Welcome to week 4!
Get ready for so many more!
Your bin, is full of delights 
for a gorgeous din!
Cauliflower and the beginning of raspberries are highlights!
(P.S. Raspberry shares start next week!)

Here through the grey we’ve found sunshine
And have been noticing the cycle sublime.
After the first Cauliflower harvest last week
many are touched my sunlight showing a purple streak!
These Cauliflower we planted mid spring
have fruited about when we found ourselves furrowing beds 
to plant out yet another secession to become king!
And so as you know one thing grows till its spread
Across the compost pile to help another move ahead!

At this point in the season,
we’re really starting to see it all come round 
and are learning so many of the reasons
of how and why and when is sound
to plant, harvest and weed. 
This is just a glimpse to join your feed.

Wishing you well, till next week,
Peace and peas 

The Persephone Crew, Rebecca, Emily, Vanessa, Stephanie and Emma

Bainbridge Island Farmer’s Market

February 19, 2018 By Leslie

Persephone Farm is an a long time, well-loved vendor at the Bainbridge Island Farmer’s Market Stop by on Saturdays from 9-1 at our grassy site behind City Hall and join the fun. The market opens just before Easter and runs through at least the end of October- sometimes until Thanksgiving, weather depending.

At the Bainbridge Island Farmer's Market
At the Bainbridge Island Farmer’s Market

Our booth offers a colorful seasonal mix of organically grown vegetables and a knowledgeable, friendly staff excited to help inspire you with recipe suggestions. We are well known at the market for our outstanding array of fresh cut flowers. As soon as the opening bell rings, shoppers flood to our stand to snatch up our colorful bouquets presented in signature olive oil cans. Designers grab and go with single stems and flowers by the bucket to arrange themselves. Customers are always surprised what an amazing value our farmer’s market flowers are compared to other local outlets. Buying direct from the grower makes all the difference. The market is a great place for brides to visit and discuss wedding flower options, see our quality and attention to detail.

At the stand you will get a chance to meet the Persephone interns, the next generation of America’s young farmers. Our amazing team comes to spend a season learning the ins and outs of working on a small farm. Staffing the farmer’s market is a high point for them each week as they showcase the literal fruits of their labor. We take pride in our hard work and love what we do. The pat on the back we get on Saturdays at the market, customers grateful for what we do, is a grand finale to the week.

Don’t forget to follow the BI Farmer’s Market page on instagram!
