I know it has been a week of transitioning for many of you, from the close of summer vacationing to the beginning of a new school year. Hopefully, you have been able to find some time during the busy week to explore some new ways to use all of those tomatoes! The days are starting to get shorter and the temperatures are getting a little cooler. It is interesting to watch the leaves on the summer thriving plants turn brown this time of year and the cooler temperature plants begin to make a second appearance. It is also a time when many of the items in the bins are in a "ready to go" state. I hope you enjoy the fall fruit as much as I do!
Things keep clicking along on the farm. Rye seeds were planted last weekend, and have soaked up the rain and turned a nice light green color this week. The packing shed continues to be prepared for our upcoming GAP (Good Agriculture Practices) audit and making way for apple packing. Even the hoophouse received some attention this past week.
What to expect to find in your bin this week:
Asian Pears
PlumsTomatoes
Potatoes
Carrots
Eggplant
Lettuce Mix
Sweet Peppers
White Onion
Beyond the Bin
Watermelon 3.00
Nectarines/qt 4.00
Raspberries/pt 5.00
Basil 2.00
Tomatoes 1/2 bu 10.00
Sunflowers 3.00
We are hoping you can join us for the Peak Season CSA potluck dinner at the Sweetbriar Farmhouse on Friday, September 20th. It will start at 6:00 pm and will include one of the last sunsets of the summer season.
Please bring your own place settings, a dish to pass and RSVP by email by Thursday, September 18th.
