What’s in the box?
Notes on the box.
cosmic Wheel Creamery cheese shares.
Finishing off the season with some beautiful fresh ricotta and Deneb, our gouda-ish cheese. Perfect combo for either a spinach or butternut squash lasagna! If you can’t get enough of our cheese and want to get some during the Winter, you can find us at the Winter Mill City Markets as well as Neighborhood Roots Markets at the Bachmans greenhouse in south Minneapolis. We will also be at St. Croix Falls Winter markets. Then next summer, we will let you know which CSAs we will partner with that will offer Cosmic Wheel cheese as an add-on. We are also looking into some wholesale markets, so hopefully you will be able to find our cheese at some of the coops and specialty cheese shops in the area. If you have any favorites, let me know (and ask them to carry our cheese)!

on the farm.
Our dear friends and CSA members! We are SO grateful for allowing us to be your CSA farmers! We have had a nice long run and been so happy to feed all of you! We want to say the biggest thank you and acknowledgment of all the incredible people that have worked on Turnip Rock Farm over the years, several have gone on to start their own farms or continue as farm workers or working in the food system or conservation in some capacity. The last 3 years having the incredible Magdalen and Alayna working with us has been an absolute delight. They are some of the most dedicated people that have taken so much pride and showed so much appreciation for the land and animals and joy in the work that they do! Farm work can be tedious and challenging and it takes A TON of perseverance and resilience. Especially in the heat and smoky conditions that so much of this past season dealt. Magdalen and Alayna showed up fully every day and put everything into their work. They are truly THE BEST! None of the food that we eat would be possible without the efforts of farm workers! Please always think of the people doing the hands on work to grow your food! We are all dependent on their hard work and well being!
We will soon be switching over to Winter deliveries of storage veggies, meat, and cheese. And next growing season we will still be growing a little something and I’m sure we will send you an update on how you can still get some food grown on our farm. We will also be happy to suggest a CSA farm for you for the 2024 season. So much love, gratitude, thanks, and big feelings happening over here right now. We are welcoming change and still committed to caring for this land and working on re-localizing our food system!
Thanks to all of you, again! Cheers!
