Still Producing

 The last two boxes have been filled with a variety of delicious vegetables.

Things are starting to wind down on the farm.  The crop have slowed down growing because of the cooler weather but have faired well in the cooler conditions.  Next week will be the last week of this year's CSA.  That doesn't mean that work has stopped on the farm.  Thre greenhouses are ready to get planted and it is time for tapping those maple trees to get that sugary deliciousness.  If you haven't gotten yourself some maple syrup from the farm you are missing out!.

Hope The Weather Treats Us Right

 

For your boxes this week you should have lettuce, Winterborne kale, potatoes, cabbage, mashed potato squash, and bell peppers. The row covers have managed to hold the frost off for the most part. You may notice a few edges on the lettuce and kale that got frost burnt but overall things came through it well. We have some warmer weather coming this week which John hopes will help him finish out a few crops before things get colder. We’ve really had some beautiful weather for this time of year!

First Box Of November

For your boxes this week you should have lettuce, bell peppers, potatoes, butterkin squash, Swiss chard, and possibly Chinese cabbage and or sweet potatoes.  It looks like we’ll have frost at least 3 or 4 days this coming week and they have covered the frost-sensitive crops so it looks like we have at least another week or 2 of fresh greens. John and Anna have a good bit of lettuce in the greenhouse so we should have that for the last 4 weeks of the fall share. They have also been busy planting winter cover crops and getting ready to wind down the growing season. About the time the fall share is over, they will start ordering seeds and supplies for next year and get the greenhouses ready for the February plantings.  We hope you all are enjoying the produce!
