I was upset with our CSA, Love Grows Farm, because their season ran short in the spring.  I wasn’t so much upset that they had not figured out how long the crops would last, but mostly there was no communication until the second week, and then it was a just a letter left with the information booth.  And worse, I was out of town and had a friend going to the farmers market to make my pick-up for those two weeks.  Bad enough to waste my own time, I really felt horrible to waste someone else’s time wondering around the farmers market with the box.

But they are back for the summer season, and had a great bag of melons, summer squash, onions, and some wonderful basil.  Lucky I happened to be at the farmers market to pick it up!

So I guess it’s my turn to communicate.  I will send an email to Mike, let him know I would be happy to keep subscribing… but he has to learn to send an email, twitter, facebook, text message… something to stay in touch with updates on the crop, and a quick note to let us know if he will be late or not there.

And by the way, the Ahwatukee Farmers market is going strong this summer, getting great melons, tomatoes, and summer squash (which strangely seemed to be in short supply last summer).    The market is going to be open next weekend, but I think that some of the vendors won't be there because its a holiday weekend.
