Farmer Notes

*We hope that you all had a very enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday!

*Thank you for extending your ‘fresh veggie’ season with us during December!!!

*Romaine was weighted down with the recent snow/ice and did not pass the test to deliver this week

*Kale, collards, and spinach can be soaked in a 15-20 minute ice water bath to help them rehydrate

*Most of the produce in today’s box stores well in a crisper drawer or in any very cool, ventilated area

*Spinach is scarce but very tasty for a December salad

*Many crops like carrots, beets, potatoes, onions, radishes, turnips, and even leeks, kohlrabi and cabbage can be roasted together in the oven with oil, s+p.

Pulling Potatoes out of sand!

*In 2 weeks our Dec. 19th box will have honey, popcorn, rutabaga, garlic and daikon radishes as new/different crops from this box

*We will once again offer jars (quart and pint) of honey, dry beans and popcorn for purchase as holiday gifts.  These will be delivered with our Dec. 19th delivery.  Let us know if you have interest in any of these.

*The boxes are heavy, handle with care

*Please make sure to return our boxes so that we can reuse them
