Finally! The plants are going
in the ground. At this time of
year, it's still too cold to plant
many of our crops, but we
can plant some. Cold lovers,
like onions, leeks, broccoli,
kale, and carrots, can handle
the cold just fine. We're
excited to begin delivering
our CSA shares on June 6th.
Hooray!

We still have a little room left in our 2010 CSA program but we expect to fill the
remaining spots soon. If you are interested in our CSA program you can find out lots
of information on the CSA page of our website. If you still have questions, or want to
talk with the farmers who will be growing your food, please don't hesitate to email us
at rob@montalbanofarms.com or telephone at (630) 882-8008. We will deliver shares
on Sundays at the Logan Square market and on Thursdays in Plano and Yorkville.
Otherwise, Spring is one of the busiest times of year for farmers. We're planting our
seeds, preparing our fields, making sure our equipment is ready for the season ahead,
finalizing our supplies, interviewing and training interns and employees, weeding,
watering, building, and record keeping. Whew!
On a final note, our farm in Plano is shaping up nicely. The warm, mostly dry days of
April have allowed us to get an early start in the fields. Our seedlings are off to a
great start and we are excited for the season ahead.
If you like Montalbano Farms please refer our website to a friend. We appreciate and
value your support of local agriculture and we work hard every day to be good
stewards of the natural resources that surround us. Thank you for your support and
enjoy these warmer days!
Farmer Rob
