The snow is melting: There are only 18 inches on the farm! If you do not like the snow then this winter has not been for you. But do not worry spring is only a few weeks away. People are starting to get excited about this year's CSA because the inquiries are becoming more frequent everyday. So here is what we know thus far.

Lessons Learned

Philadelphia Incubation Community Kitchens (PICK)

New to Greensgrow in 2009 is our incubator kitchen project. As with many Greensgrow projects, it started off with us simply trying to fill a void. For years Greensgrow Farms had been turning out our famous pesto, roasted lemony eggplant dip and cilantro-schirazi hot sauce in the small kitchen of our Firth Street office. As the CSA and Farm Stand grew so did the demand for more and more of our farm made products. So we began hunting for a space to build a kitchen for canning and creating value added products. St Michaels Lutheran Church, located just a few blocks away heard about our search and sought us out.

What started out as a simple way to use up some day old strawberries turned into a major initiative for us. That's just the way things happen when you stay lean and mean (well may be not mean).
