Farmer Notes
*Last of the Bell and hot peppers
*Lots of salad fixings with 2 lettuce varieties, arugula, tatsoi greens, red kale, and apples, radishes, beets and carrots to shave on top
*Winter squashes are Acorn, Hubbard, and Delicata (eat these sooner than later as our wet season has had its ill effects
*Radishes are a new variety for us – an heirloom globe daikon. They are very pretty inside and can be eaten raw or cooked
*Last of the bok choy and swiss chard as these cannot handle a hard freeze
*Apples are Enterprise and have a softer white flesh, best if eaten fresh or in salads
*Red kale and boc choy can be sautéed, used in a soup or eaten raw in a salad
*Rosemary is great with roasted potatoes, carrots, beets and onions
*The next delivery is in 2 weeks on Th. Nov. 7th
*Please make sure to return our boxes untorn
We are busy harvesting and cleaning up the fields. Some crops can stay in the ground later if they can tolerate the colder nights (scallions, leeks, kale etc.) Some crops we cover with one or two layers of row cover to keep them in the field (spinach, romaine, radishes etc). Other crops come in to dry in our dehydrator (popcorn, dry beans, garlic), in the green house with fans blowing (squashes, pumpkin), into the cooler to sit at 36 degrees(cabbages, turnips, kohlrabi, beets) or into our garage to lie under sand for a few months (potatoes and carrots). We should be able to keep you all in decent vegetables through the holidays and on into the new year.
Thank you for joining us for our Fall produce share – enjoy eating well!!
