Doin’ repairs! A little bit of crew leader appreciation - Jeremy has been doing a lot of rad repairs around the farm, including bird-proofing our greenhouse, building a new swarm box in hopes of catching a swarm of bees, and replacing the tines on our @bcs_america tiller! We’ll keep you all updated on our swarm adventure... we’re had some unsuccessful attempts last year, but have our fingers crossed for this season! 🐝🐝

We’re still harvesting and lovin’ on our PSB 💜 last week, we sent some of it to @hitchcockrestaurantgroup @pizzeriabruciato, who no doubt have been creating something extraordinary with it. Purple-sprouting broccoli has a relatively short season - it is sweet and tender throughout, a great addition up any dish! If you’re not able to try PSB creations on the island, swipe to see a Persephone recipe we like to share with folks.

Psst... we have it at the @bifarmersmarket and on @kitsapfresh today!

We had a great time at the first @bifarmersmarket

We had a great time at the first @bifarmersmarket of the year! We love to remind folks that if you’re a CSA member and you visit our booth, you get 10% off!

If you’re looking to get your own garden started for the summer, come chat with us about our starts! We’re bringing more and more varieties each week. All of them are hardened off and won’t mind the cold that often lingers in April - we do this so you could get them right in the ground.

See you there!

Have you gotten your CSA share for the 2021 season

Have you gotten your CSA share for the 2021 season yet? CSAs are one of the most direct ways to support local, regenerative-agriculture farms, while also getting super tasty weekly veggies for your household! With the Persephone CSA, you’ll also be supporting the education of our farm interns, helping cultivate the next generation of farmers. We love to chat with you during CSA pickups, and foster that connection with your food even further. We have full and split shares open in Indianola and on Bainbridge Island! Chat with us at the market or check us out at persephonefarm.com, at the link in our bio 🌷

A sneak peak of the groovy purple-sprouting broccoli you’ll see at our @bifarmersmarket tomorrow morning!! A reminders for the first market:

✨At the Persephone booth, cash is king! We absolutely love cash transactions, because they make things a lot easier on our end, so if you’re able to use cash, please do

✨If you’re interested in a CSA share and pay in cash, you get a nice discount as well! Regardless, ask about our CSA - we still have spots available :)

✨We’re still asking folks to properly mask up and keep their distance and the market, and appreciate everyone’s understanding and kindness with this

✨We are so excited to see everyone! 10am-2pm, giving you another hour to shop, compared to last year!

See you there, friends! 🥦🌞

Every year, without fail, we fall in love again with purple-sprouting broccoli. This year is no different! We’re excited to give some of it to our very talented friends at @restaurantmarchebainbridge this week. We’re all so eager to work with our local restaurants as things begin to safely open up this season. Woohoo! ✨

Talk about starts! The crew potted up over 1,000 plant starts yesterday afternoon!!! We were filling flats, teasing out roots, and tagging our pots. Keep an eye out... plenty of these starts will make an appearance at the @bifarmersmarket (which starts next week!) 🥦 There’s potting mix under our fingernails and a lot of joy in our hearts. Happy Friday, folks!

This week, Persephone has been working with and made a donation to the Madrona School on Bainbridge Island! (@madronaschool). Our produce will be featured in their dinner basket tonight at the Cherry Blossom Festival and Auction, and we donated a Persephone CSA box and 3 flower bouquets (to be picked up at the BI farmers market) to be bid on tonight! We have wonderful friends of the farm like Heather and Izumi (among many others) at the Madrona School, and love being able to work with them and support our community. Happy bidding! 🥦🧅🧄

Onion planting! We don’t always get to plant with the whole crew, but it’s always special when we do. Our onions went into the ground last week and we are SO excited to watch them grow! 🧅

The crew is back in town! Rebecca decided to overwinter last year’s crop of interns, and while we’ve been busy in the fields, we’re still finding time to goof around. We want to remind you all, as we continue to learn in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, that we are doing all that we can to keep ourselves and you safe. We keep to our small “pod,” believe in science, and trust that we’ll emerge stronger from this. In the meantime, we’re wearing masks, and looking good doing it! Your produce and flowers, as always, are handled with care 🌸 We’re happy to be back!
