Final Week!!!



Lots of food again this week, and after that heavy frost last weekend (we hit 24 degrees), let's call it a successful Fall CSA session--everything is out of the ground!!!  You get it all this week.

Thank you so much for your support--obviously, we couldn't do it without you.  It was a great year for some things, not so great for other things, but that is usually the way it goes.  I hope you enjoyed a season's (or 3 seasons!) worth of good food grown without any organic or chemical sprays, dusts, or powders.

In this week's share:

Salad mix (after my wife complained about a bit too much "good bacteria" (err, dirt), I've taken to triple washing the mixes when I get them home.  Works great!!! Highly recommend it.

Potatoes

Green or ripening tomatoes (lots and lots!)

Beets

Butternut or spaghetti squash

Delicata or Honeynut Squash

Garlic Chives

Apples

3 of the following:

Arugula
Italian Dandelion greens
Rainbow Chard
Lacinato Kale
Collards
Leaf Broccoli

Enjoy!

Fall CSA Week 4.75


Looks like a heavy freeze is headed our way this weekend, right on time--our average first frost date is October 15.

As a precaution, we harvested heavy again, so we'll call this week 4.75 and we pull forward a few things we will likely lose.

In this week's share:

Arugula

Rainbow Chard--finally a good crop after too much heat this summer

Chives--a very tender fall cutting, packed with flavor

Parsley

Senposai

Broccoli...man this crop is tough to grow...had a beautiful crop but it bolted in the heat earlier...this was a later, smaller crop that has enjoyed the cooler weather...enjoy!

Turnips

Squash--spaghetti, buttercup, honeynut (small, like delicata, but wow!!!--will grom much more of this next year)

Peppers if enough; otherwise potatoes

onions

Lemongrass--a few leafs of this wonderful herb: http://www.wikihow.com/Use-Lemon-Grass

Apples--6 varieties to choose from!

Senposai--do you love it yet?

Beets or turnips

Potatoes

Squash--take your pick...spaghetti, buttercup, butternut, honeynut!!! Fantastic, have been eating them all week!

Romano beans or Red Noodle Beans

Peppers!!!!! Likely the last for the year...love the flavor the cooler nights bring out...

At the stand: last order of Sheep's Yogurt for the year...this dairy does not make it once they leave the pasture in the fall--amazing stuff!!!
