The Weekly Harvest: Gather 'round the table

Hey Folks, 
Wow, it is mid September y'all, what happened?! This is a great time of year as the autumnal equinox approaches where we literally have almost all seasons worth of crops available at once. Katie and I actually decided that this coming weekend and the next weekend was the best to get married 8 years ago because it typically has really reliable weather and there is so much good food available with some of the summer stuff still lingering, long term fall crops coming in, and our spring crops making an appearance again, plus the general availability of flowers. You go one week earlier it can be hot, wait another week and it could snow. 

Your farmers have been busy bees, as always, getting ready for the winter by harvesting storage crops, cleaning up fields and getting them seeded to winter cover crops, moving tunnels over greens for the winter. 

So, gather round the table with family and friends as the seasonal eating reaches its peak of choice. It always amazing to me the bounty that this land and place can produce, so please celebrate it with us and enjoy some super fresh and amazingly tasty seasonal goodness. 

We still have seconds of green cabbage available for $1 per lb (min. 10lb) for the sauerkraut lovers out there. Email to place order for pick up at Farm Stand or Farmers Market. 

Lat but not least, the wafting aroma of chilies roasting always signals the start of Fall here on the Farm, a welcome scent as temperatures cool and nights grow longer. Join us this Friday and Saturday from 2-4pm at the Farm Stand for fresh roasted chilies. We would love to see you there!

Eat Local + Be Well,
