Autumn: Week 1

Harvest days are usually Tuesday and Wednesday, and it was not a pleasant task this week!  You may find some mud on some of the produce...This afternoon, however, the sun broke through, and tomorrow looks to be a great day.  Welcome to all the new CSA members, and to all the returning spring and summer members.  It's a good share to start the season, and includes the following:

2 Delicata squash and 1 acorn or butternut squash;
1 bag of Super Salad mix or 1 bag of spinach;
1 bag of arugula or 1 bag of dinosaur kale;
1 bag of French Sorrel;
1 bunch of  French breakfast radishes;
1 head of Napa Cabbage

At the stand, we finally have Appleridge Bacon.  We have visitors from Oregon staying in the Guest House, and they raved about the bacon yesterday.  There are also some roasts and other cuts.

We also have beets, potatoes, quince, apples, garlic, Arethusa dairy, Rotundo and Camembert cheeses, the last of the jalapeno peppers, and tomatillos.  Things are growing well, but frost is lurking...the average first frost date for our part of Connecticut is October 15, and here we are!  Last year we didn't have a frost until Snowtober...let's hope we avoid that this year.

Thanks for all of your support, and welcome to the Autumn CSA.
