Last year's harvest dinner was a real "pumpkin" smash!
Hi everyone,
This Tuesday is our annual fall harvest potluck! We’ll be starting at 5pm (eating by 5:30 or 6pm) and it looks like we’ll have perfect weather so come on out and enjoy the sunset at the farm with your fellow members and good food. Please bring a dish or drink to share, your own plates and utensils. Parking in front of the farm is limited so park across the street whenever possible. Prizes for the raffle tickets will be drawn at the party. The raffle items are listed below. Please buy your raffle tickets when you pick up your share tomorrow or at the party.
It hasn’t felt like fall lately with all this warm weather, but it’s starting to look like it at the farm. The oats, vetch, peas and winter rye I’ve been planting as cover crop is coming in nicely and making the fields very green. The fall greens are doing well and it looks like they’ll be in share for the next several weeks – barring very cold weather. We’ve begun the slow process of cleaning up the tomatoes. This is a big project which I need your help with. We are having an all member work day at the farm this Saturday from 9am-12pm. Come prepared to get dirty.
In this week’s share:
Kale
Arugula and Salad Greens
Radishes
Carrots
Peppers
Winter Squash
Garlic
Eggplant
Tomatoes
See you at the farm!
