Announcing our dialed-in 2021 Garden In A Box!
Casey may not be on a hiatus anymore, but we’re not quite ready to jump back in to growing the food FOR you. Instead, we’re continuing to make it easy for you to grow your own! Kendra just so happens to be a square-foot gardener, and she’s hooked us up with an awesome alternative to the all-season CSA! And it’s right up our alley! CSAer Frank’s been saying for years that pretty soon I’ll have y’all doing all the farm work too, and with this new offering, we’re getting one step closer to that being a reality….

Two Box Special – SOLD OUT FOR 2021!!
You’ll be eating damn near as well as you would with the CSA! Choose two, (or go wild and plant all four.) Please list which two in the notes at checkout. Or if that option doesn’t exist, send us a message on Facebook, or an email at digger@earthlydelightsfarm.com denoting your choices.
Now that your mouth is watering, here are the last few details/FAQs:
- These kits assume you already have a veggie box filled with good garden soil. We recommend North End Organic Nursery for a good soil mixture for veggie boxes, as well as for organic amendments to said soil.
- If you wanted to stretch the kits out into a larger area (say, 4′ x 6′ or 4′ x 8′), simply put more space between plants. They will easily fill twice the space if you space the plants farther apart. Kendra’s directions provide guidance on how to space your planting to fill a larger space if you desire.
- Pickups for spring and summer gardens-in-a-box will function like normal CSA pickups. We’ll have your plants and seeds ready to go and you can show up during the pickup time and collect your goodies. You can grab them and go, or linger with us over a beer or other beverage of your choice and catch up after a long winter. This is our chance to chat with you, so plan to stay for a few minutes if your schedule allows!
*All CSA pickups are at Earthly Delights Farm off Hill Road: 5298 Stinger St. (one block west of the Hill Rd/Castle Dr intersection)
