Week 15 - Cool Mornings

Week 15

Fall is in the air. The mornings have been cool with heavy dews and a tinge of color is creeping in some of the trees. The days are getting shorter. It’s dark when I wake now and dark when we clean up the share on late days. The to do lists seem more manageable and the pace isn’t quite as frantic as mid summer. We started deconstructing our tomatoes as many have finally succumb to early blight. The first cover crops are starting to germinate and those fields are left to rest for the winter. This week will likely be the last to feature summer stables like tomatoes and peppers. We are transitioning into the fall bounty with beautiful broccoli, delicata squash, and leeks.

This week the share will include:

Greens

Spinach

Head Lettuce

Fennel

Bok choi

Broccoli

Peppers

Tomatoes

Potatoes

Leeks

Delicata squash

Cherry tomatoes - PYO

Hot peppers - PYO

Herbs - PYO

Despite our best efforts to keep a good stash of scissors for the pick your own field, every week many go missing. I’d like to encourage you to bring your own scissors if you plan on picking.

Just a reminder, we only allow one pickup per week but the choice of day is up to you. If you cannot make it for one of the weeks, you can always send a friend to pick up your share for you. Please remember to bring your tote bags! The shareroom is open Monday & Thursday 2-7pm, Tuesday and Friday 12-5pm
