This week’s share will include: 

  • Veggies: peppers, spinach, kale, lettuce, rainbow carrots, acorn squash, radishes,cauliflower or kohlrabi, sweet corn, shallots, sweet potatoes, and choice of an herb (parsley, thyme, or oregano).
  • Add-on shares:
    • Fruit:  Fuji apples and Hosui Asian pears (John has asked members to bring back the reusable Amazon bags they use for fruit to avoid having to use plastic bags)
    • Flowers: not mentioned in this week’s update, I believe we have completed all 10 weeks
    • Mushrooms: expected every week unless we hear otherwise
    • Eggs: expected every week unless we hear otherwise
  • For those with half shares, this is “B” week.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Please consider signing up for a Stock Up Share as it helps the farm use up stored veggies and provides an infusion of cash to help pay for bills over the winter. My family has done the Stock Up Share the last few years and each year we split with two other families to make it more manageable. The timing just before Thanksgiving is perfect for making traditional sides like mashed potatoes, roasted squash or glazed carrots with your CSA produce. If you have any questions about the Stock Up Share let me know and I would be happy to help. At some point in the near future we will begin a list of those who want to sign up.
