Our fields are really starting to look organized again after the flush of growth for both plants and weeds that we’ve been working to contain over the past few months. As the weather cools (not this week!) and the sunlight decreases we can out work the plants again. We’re still harvesting delicious summer tomatoes, pepper, and eggplant, but also harvesting some tasty fall greens. We hope you enjoy this week’s share! We’ve got a lot of tasty crops on the horizon!
