So it's been a year and a couple of months since we've had the joy of hearing about Beth's life at the CSA. So good afternoon, Beth. How are you? Good afternoon. I'm doing well. Thank you. Good. How's the weather in Wisconsin? It's hot here in Minnesota. Well, you know, it's funny. I've been waiting for hot and now that it's here, I'm going, oh, God, it's too hot. 00:56 So it's beautiful. It's an absolutely beautiful day. So it's been fun running in and out of the house to to switch gears with the water every once in a while. Yeah. Given everybody a nice deep drink. Yeah. My husband filled up three different bowls for the dog last night because she really wanted to play frisbee and it was hot out. And he said he said that she drank one and a half bowls of water after after she played frisbee. And I was like, don't play frisbee with her when it's so hot like this. You're going to kill her. You know. 01:25 Yeah, it is hard on them. Yeah, and when it's this warm and it hasn't been this warm yet, so she hasn't acclimated and she's a chubby dog. She's probably five pounds overweight. So I can't imagine it's fun being her and running across the yard chasing after the frisbee and realizing how hot she is when she's Right. So anyway, it's been over a year since we talked on the podcast. So catch me up a little bit. Well, 01:55 Um, last year I was doing a lot of dreaming and my tagline was if we build it, they will come. And I put that hashtag on just about everything as I was posting about what we were trying to do. And it seems like it's true. Um, we have a new website and that has been a game changer for us. I was trying to do that. 02:23 solo and try to build something that would meet our needs and the needs of our members. And it just wasn't working. And so I found CSAware. I don't know if you're familiar with that. found it through localharvest.org, which is a nonprofit. And we are a nonprofit, so it was a perfect fit. And I've got a wonderful person who knows the ins and outs of the website. She's my go-to gal. I can call her or send her a text. 02:52 at any time of day to help me figure things out. I think it's really made the difference for me in being able to meet the needs of the people of the community and yet still not have to spend so much time with the nuts and bolts of it. So we currently have 10 families that have signed up for the season and it's a perfect pace. They trickled in. 03:21 like two at a time, three at a time. And we have some really exciting partnerships that have started. I'm really excited to share with you. so, you know, I think it's growing at a pace that we, and I, can still hold on to the bucking bronco and go for a ride. We're having a lot of fun. Good, because I know you really wanted to take. 03:46 what you and Rob had started building and share it. And it sounds like you are, so that's fantastic. Yeah, yeah. We have some families who come pick up their boxes here on Monday or Tuesday. And they are, what's exciting is it's families. So little people are coming with parents and getting a sense of the garden and what it's like here at the farm. And we're talking about hosting one of their birthday parties in a few weeks. So 04:15 They really love it here. And that to me is such a blessing. Yeah. And let me, let me catch people up. CSA, it stands for community supported agriculture. And basically it is subscribing to a share of the farm's produce that is grown during the summer for a certain amount of weeks during the growing season. Correct. And our season is 24 weeks. 04:40 But we started a little earlier. Now, I've learned so much about how I'm going to structure next year. But there isn't a ton of fresh produce right now. And so what we've been doing, and everybody's so lovely about it, is they're getting fresh microgreens that I'm growing weekly. And they're getting salad greens because I can grow them hydroponically, quickly, and cleanly. 05:07 then the rest of what they're getting ...
