Dates

Hello out there!

Sorry for the late email, I got waylaid. I just checked the dates of the CSA. The last distribution days of the summer CSA are Tuesday, November 13th, and Friday, November 16th. That's six more weeks of farm eating fun. Paul and I are going to sit down in the next couple of days and set the start date for the winter CSA. Details forth-coming. 

This week's food:

garlic - on the docket for the rest of the season, one bulb per week.

spinach

hakurei turnips

head lettuce

scarlet queen turnips - gorgeous

raddicchio

carrots - here til spring

beets - here til spring

tatsoi

pac choi - this is what I am eating these days. Bomber.

kale

chard

endive/escarole

maybe some other surprises

u-pick:

Note: The fall frosts are creeping into reality, so all of the tender crops are going to be killed soon. That includes all tomatoes, tomatillos, flowers and beans.

Limited:

paste tomatoes - 5 gallons

tomatillos - 3 gallons

raspberries - 3 quarts

unlimited:

edemame

green beans (almost done for the year)

cherry tomatoes

chard - yes! time to stock up!

kale - ditto!

parsley - awesome

cilantro 

dill

flowers
