Freezing Herbs

How to: Freeze & Preserve Fresh Herbs in Olive Oil

1. Choose fresh herbs from your CSA, the market or your own garden.
2. You can chop them well, or leave on branches and leaves.
In the photo, the herbs are finely chopped.
3. Place on trays of ice cubes (about 2/3 full of herbs).

4. You can mix herbs (sage, thyme, rosemary).
5. Place extra virgin olive oil or unsalted melted butter over the herbs.
6. Cover with plastic and freeze.
7. Remove frozen cubes and store in small containers or bags to freeze.

8. Do not forget to label each container or bag with the type of herbs (and oil) inside!

About Our CSA

EARTHSCAPE / FULL CIRCLE FARM CSA FOR 2012

Our Community Supported Agriculture (or CSA) endeavor began in 2004. We have a really good growing history ~ just ask our long-time share members! Except for a total crop failure with tomatoes in 2009 (a nation-wide problem), and the occasional in-short-supply vegetable, we have consistently proven our ability to grow a wide variety of foods with consistent quality and quantity.

One of the largest CSAs in Western Michigan changed their focus to a Farm-to-Table Restaurant this year, so we are growing to 60 shares for 2012 season.

Mike Jones and Patti Krielick are continuing to take an active role in management here. We have 2 new employees, Nic Parton and Carolyn Harper, with training and experience at the MSU Student Organic Farm, plus some returning help from last year. We plan to grow more!

We are offering similar variety with shares this year. You can choose a 16 week share for $425 for a single share or $800 for a double (2x most items) or a 20 week share for $525 for a single share or $1000 for a double. Payment is due by June 1st (payment plans are available if needed).

A 16 week share will begin the week of June 4th and go till the week of September 17th. A 20 week share will begin the week of May 21st and go till the week of October 1st. If you have vacation time planned and you let us know ahead of time, you can get a storage crop box at the end of the Season. Or you can donate your box to a friend or food pantry for the week / weeks you will be gone.

PICK UP DAY CHANGE: Pick up on the Farm will be Mondays 4-7pm, and Fridays from 6-8pm. We have a delivery to the Muskegon area on Monday evenings (North Muskegon exit at 4:35 and Glenside Sherman Blvd 5-6pm), and delivery to Sweetwater Local Foods Market on Saturday mornings 9-noon. There will be a $50 delivery fee for the season to either delivery location.

We encourage you to share pickups with other nearby families in order to save gas. We had groups from Fremont, Shelby, Muskegon and White Lake sharing pickups last year.

We will continue to be a bit flexible when you have special needs and we hope you will have the same patience with us.

We are still at the Sweetwater Market in Muskegon on Saturdays from 9-1 with the excess produce. In order to have 60 heads of lettuce harvestable in the same week, we will plant at least 100.

CSAs are continuing to gain in popularity. As the costs of energy and food prices rise, local food becomes an even greater value.
