Join Our CSA
Many farms offer produce subscriptions, where buyers receive a weekly or monthly basket of produce, flowers, fruits, eggs, milk, coffee, or any sort of different farm products.
A CSA, (for Community Supported Agriculture) is a way for the food buying public to create a relationship with a farm and to receive a weekly basket of produce. By making a financial commitment to a farm, people become "members" (or "shareholders," or "subscribers") of the CSA.
We are working collaboratively with Table Mountain Garden in Murphys, CA exploring CSA options.
We are happy to announce that we now offer a CSA subscription! Please read our CSA news to find out how to join.
What's in Season
Kline Organic Produce grows a wide variety of vegetables spanning a harvest season from late April thru November. Harvest seasons change like the weather and we can have early and late yields on some of our crops.
Spring yields sugar snap peas, arugula, fava beans, lettuce, onions, garlic, potatoes, beets, squash and basil. We have worked a long time to select many of the varieties we grow. Our sugar snap peas are full and very sweet. They are great eaten raw or lightly cooked. Fava Beans are so awesome, they really pack a punch. They are not as much trouble as one might think. I can have water ready by the time I have shucked a mess of them. Check out our recipe for Cold Fava Salad with Sweet Red Onion. We love a variety of greens from braisin' mustards and kales to tender butter lettuces. Potatoes are one of my favorite crops to grow, I love the plant, watching it flower and noodling for taters. We grow red, yellow, blue, gold, and fingerlickin' fingerlings. If you haven't tried our potatoes, please come by the Farmers Market, or talk to us and we'll suggest a fine Modesto Restaraunt where you can try them.
Where Spring blends into Summer we crank it up on the farm harvesting potaoes, garlic and onions for immediate sale and storage. We offer these items throughout the Summer!
Summer yields beans, basil, cucumbers, melons, tomatoes, tomatillos, eggplant, squash and even a small amount of peaches and nectarines. We love to grow yellow wax, baciccia, yard long and green beans. We love squash, especially the Ron de Nice. It is round and light green, easily sliced into patties for the grill. Tomatoes are a summertime favorite. Heirlooms seem to identify our Tomatoes better than anything, saving seed and searching for varieties that do well for us, here in Waterford. We grow an assortment of cherry type from tiny Supersweet 100s to medium sized Green Grape, Juanne Flamme and Wapsipicon Peach. Our larger, slicing type, include John Jacobson, Pink Brandywine, Cherokee Purple, Hillbilly, Tobolsk and Super Lakota. If you like tomatoes, check out our annual Tomato Tasting event.
Fall is tenuous as we try to anticipate the end of Summer and when to sow for another taste of sugar snap peas, greens and the like. It is highlighted with late success in snap beans, successive sowings of cucumbers and squash and early blasts of Arugula and lettuces. We have actually found that our best yields on our snap beans have been in late September and early October for two consecutive years. The soil temps can cool enough for the arugula and lettuce early allowing us to have our green salads with our tomatoes! Sometimes the soil temperatures are too warm to germinate the beets and chard properly. The result is often young plants, not quite ready for harvest in October due to rapid cooling the the Central Valley with short days, possible frosts, and fog. These crops we leave in the field and harvest when ready, Nov. or December.
We generally do not harvest many crops in the Winter and try to use this time to clean up the field and prepare it for next season. Winter is highlighted by rich covercrops for building the soil, garlic, onions, and a few broccolli, mustard, kale, and chard.
