Additional Information:   

Sustainability

LFF uses sustainable farming practices.  This means we have three main goals: environmental stewardship, farm profitability, and prosperous farming communities.  We have an integrated, resource conserving farming system, based on respect for the people and animals involved which reduces environmental degradation, and promotes agricultural productivity and economic viability.  One example of a sustainable practice LFF employs is our use of compost rather than synthetic fertilizer.  Another is our use of proper crop rotation.  Correct irrigation, collaborating efforts with other farmers and conservation of resources also contributes to LFF’s sustainable nature.

Seasonal Highlights

Local Motion CSA grows over 35 different vegetables, a dozen types of herbs, and a variety of flowers.  We harvest from early July through November.  Each week you will receive a diverse mix of those crops that are in season.  Here are some typical highlights:  

Carrots 5.2012

June & July–Lots of lettuce and spinach, amazing baby greens, along with a bounty of beautiful rainbow carrots, beets, and radishes.  The season begins with fresh salads and several different sautéed Asian greens on your dinner plate.

August– Spinach and lettuces are replaced by crisp,  cool cucumbers, and a combination of tasty yellow wax, purple burgundy, and haricot vert green beans .  By mid-month, you should begin to see a variety of summer squash and herbs galore.  Early tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and onions begin to arrive.  Get the butter out because the best sweet corn in Colorado will be hitting the grill this month.  Japanese edamame and Mexican green garbanzo beans will make for a tasty snack for the kids.

September– Prepare yourself for a bountiful month of fresh veggies. Cool nights allow for the return of greens while the warm days keep the August crops happy.  Late season sweet corn will still be growing strong.  Get ready to put some up for the winter.  Fall harvest of root crops, including several varieties of potatoes, will continue through the end of this month.IMG_2394

October-November The fall season begins with cold loving kale, rainbow chard and lettuces.  Purple and orange sweet potatoes are freshly dug each day before delivery.  Several eye-catching varieties of new crop dry beans along with colorful rainbow popcorn are in store to help get you through winter.  Beautiful pumpkins, gourds, and winter squash to top off a well rounded season.

Please note: seasonal highlights vary from year to year depending on the weather and many other factors and are only intended as a general guideline.  Every year is different!
