CSA Week 16

We are now down to the last two weeks of the season, this week and next.  We had a light frost last Wednesday night/Thursday morning, so most of the herbs are now done along with the late zucchini, but it looks like most of the sweet peppers made it through and continue to color up and will hopefully be ready for final shares next week.  We are starting to dig turnips this week along with the final harvests of beets and carrots.  Lots of purple this week with beets, turnips and cabbage!

While last week was the final regular distribution for egg shares, out egg supplier will still have a few dozen available this week and next week if any one would like some.  Just give me a day or two notice prior to your pickup day.  They are $3 for a 1/2 dozen and $5 for a dozen

We experimented with some pumpkin varieties this year, trying to decide if we want to plant on a larger scale next season.  We don't have a lot, (20-25) but will make them available on a first come first serve basis.  If you are interested in one, shoot me a note and I will hold for you if your pickup date is later in the week.

This week's shares include:

  • Red Cabbage
  • Turnips
  • Carrots
  • Beets
  • Tomatoes
  • Jalapeno Pepper
  • Cayenne Pepper
  • Lettuce
  • Applesauce - Large Jar

If you didn't get a chance to try the turnip recipes from the June harvest, now is your chance!
