Hi Joey,
I hope this beautiful day finds you well!
I have some news from Apple Street Farms (ASF) that I thought you would be interested in.
First and foremost, Chef Frank McClelland is thrilled to announce Phoebe Poole as his new Farm Manager of ASF. Poole is a New England native and discovered her passion for farming while studying biology at Wellesley College when she worked on a local farm every weekend. Since then, Poole has worked on farms of various sizes at locations across the country learning how to grow vegetables, raise livestock, manage CSA’s and operating farmer’s markets.
Now that the growing season is upon us, Phoebe is very excited about the 3rd annual Seedling Sale and Family Farm Day at ASF over Memorial Day Weekend. Apple Street Farm provides over 90% of the produce for L’Espalier and Sel de la Terre and is utilized by many other Boston restaurants (many of whom are L’Espalier and Sel de la Terre alumni), and now fans and friends of the restaurant can visit the farm to grow their own produce. More information on the Seedling Sale is included in the advisory below.
Additionally, Apple Street still has availability and openings for their produce and poultry CSA’s. Produce CSA’s are $500 for the 20-week season and are picked up once per week on Thursdays. They expect the first pick to be early to mid June and the season will run through Octover. Vegetables include: lettuce, salad greens, kale, swiss chard, bok choy, cabbages, onions, beets, carrots, radishes, turnips, rutabaga, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, potatoes, squash, peas, beans and more. Poultry CSA’s are $450 for the 20-week season which includes a whole chicken each week, or a half share that is $225 and includes a half chicken every other week. Poultry shares are picked up on Fridays and ASF birds are raised in a radically different manor from any bird that can be found in a grocery store.
