Wow – it sure has been busy. I truly love spring – the colors, the warm air, the plants poking up through the ground, the birds going crazy, but it sure makes for a busy time. I’ve had a hard time getting my spring garden planted. Between the rain and my work schedule (and a couple of baby goats who I’ve been bottle feeding), I don’t feel like I’m where I should be getting in my seeds and working my beds. There’s even rhubarb ready to pick, but I’ve not had a chance to do anything with it yet. So the garden will be late, but hopefully I’ll get caught up this weekend.

Also, arriving this week is the Spring issue of Local Table. I’m hoping to start getting it into Metro locations by this weekend and out into other areas next week. There is a list of where I’ve put it in the past on the website, so check there if you’re looking for a copy near you. If you know of any locations such as coffee shops, book stores, other retailers you think would be good spots for the magazine, please let me know and I’ll see what I can do to get copies there.

I know lots of folks have been waiting for the list of 2009 CSA (community supported agriculture) farms and the list is bigger than ever. If you’ve got questions about any farms or the process, please visit our community forum at www.localtable.net . We’re hoping to get a community started where folks can ask questions about local farms, swap recipes, get tips on great drives in the country and find interesting and fun sources of local food.
