Fall is finally here. Even though the weather is a bit colder we have plenty of wonderful veggies for the rest of the year. The cold weather will make the leafy greens produce more sugar and taste even more delicious than they already do. Butternut is a favorite winter squash among many CSA members and we have it again for you this week. We have some big projects coming up on the farm. There are a few more crops to transplant and then we will be installing hoops and covering a large portion of the garden, about 1/3rd of an acre, in greenhoiuse film and row cover. We plan to keep many cold-tolerant crops going throughout the winter months. Check our instagram and facebook this winter to see what winter markets we will be attending.

This week we included a big, delicious watermelon, which we’ve been patiently waiting for all season. They’ve taken their time getting ripe, but they were well worth the wait. We also included a sugar pumpkin, which is both cute to look at and great for cooking. On the blog this week we included a peanutbutter pumpkin soup recipe which is very tasty. We’ve still firmly in summer, and our tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant are chugging along, though a lot of our fall crops are sizing up and we look forward to the cooler temperatures bringing out their sweetness. Thank you for being a member of our CSA program, and we hope you enjoy this week’s share!
