CSA Harvest Guide : September 27
Thanks to all who helped and came out on Sunday for the Fair, it was a total blast. We could not have asked for more perfect weather to be walking around outside.
The fields are starting to really shape up, as we grow nearer and nearer to being ahead of the weeds once again. We've noticed that many of our root crops are doing very well, and you'll be getting a taste of their success in your bags this week....the beets are back and bigger than ever!
On the other hand, our nightshades are starting to show their distress to the cooler nights and days. This may just be the last week that you'll be receiving cherry or slicer tomatoes, and although they may look to be fading a bit, they still pack a more superior flavor than any store bought brands....enjoy them while they last!

What's in the bag?
|
Eggplants
|
Delicata and Sugar Dumpling Winter Squash
|
|
Cilantro
|
Beets
|
This week expect to find most if not all of these items: Lettuce, Beets, Winter Squash, Beans or Broccoli, Onions, Summer Squash or Eggplant, Peppers, Slicer and Cherry Tomatoes and Cilantro as an herb.
We have a mixture of winter squash, from delicatas and sugar dumplings to more spaghetti and even more butternut squash. This week, you'll be receiving at least one of these varieties of winter squash. It has been enjoyable waiting for the butternut squash to cure, because they fill the greenhouse with a warm and buttery smell- I definitely understand where their name comes from now.
Until next week, peace & enjoy!

CSA Harvest Guide : September 20
Before we get into the nitty gritty of this week's harvest, Topper and Beamer, two of the Wood's lovely canines, first want to make a final shout out about the Mother Earth Harvest Fair coming up THIS SUNDAY.....
"Hey! Are ya comin'? Will we see ya?? We hope, we hope!"
We will have a table set up in the front talking about the CSA and all the fun we have, and I will also have a small table set up where I will be selling a few homemade medicinal tea mixtures with all of the of the ingredients coming from organic or naturally grown locations or straight from this farm. The fair runs from 10am-5pm, and there is parking at the adjacent farm. See the below post on the home page for more information!

A HUGE thank you goes out to the members who came last Sunday to our CSA Potluck. We all had a wonderful time, and were very excited over the entertaining conversations and amazing spread of deliciously home-cooked food.
Thank you, thank you!!

So, what's in your bag?
|
Broccoli
|
Garlic
|
|
Lettuce
|
Sage
|
This week expect to find these items: Summer Squash or Eggplant, Cherry Tomatoes, Slicer Tomatoes, Garlic, Potatoes, Peppers, Lettuce and Sage as an herb.
We will also be giving out Green Beans or Broccoli to most of you, as the beans are not super prolific this time around, and the broccoli is just starting to come in. We're aiming to make sure everyone gets one or the other, but if there is still not enough, rest assured! We will substitute their loss with something else.
Hope you enjoy the mixture of potatoes, garlic and sage as much as we will, and we hope to see you out on Sunday! Peace & Enjoy. |
