Farmer’s Notes
*Thanks so much for partnering with Earth Dance Farm for our Fall Share season
*The 2021 CSA website sign-up for all of our shares opens up on January 1st
*This week’s greens mix include kales, spinach, beet greens and lettuces – you will also see some chickweed sprinkled in there because there was a lot of it growing with some of the greens. We tried picking as much out as we could. It is totally edible and pretty nutritious, feel free to pick it out or eat it in your salad!
*Again, when washing your kales and greens, let them soak awhile to rehydrate
*All of these crops (except honey, herbs and garlic) store well in cool, dark and humid conditions
*Try fermenting the Napas and cabbages as kimchi or sauerkraut – super good for you and lasts a long time
*Our honey is raw, unpasteurized, and not recommended for pregnant women
*Enjoy some final salads from the farm for the 2020 season!!
*Many of the green cabbages are not full heads, but still make for good eating – we love them sliced up and pan fried with butter, salt and pepper
*I will return on Jan. 7th to collect any remaining ice packs or boxes from the drop site locations
*Have a wonderful Holiday Season – be safe and enjoy family!
It always feels good to reach this point in the season; the crops are all harvested and stored, the fields are mostly cleaned up, and the equipment is put away for the winter. Although we still have a Winter Share to put together and deliver in the first part of 2021, it is definitely the end of this growing season, and the colder days mean it is time for these old farmer bones to rest along with the soil. It has been a really good year and we are grateful for the weather, the land, you members who purchased shares, the bountiful harvests, safety and health, and so much more! We sit back a bit now, reflect on our blessings, ponder some changes for the future, begin to plan, and order seed, and enjoy the wait. Soon enough the days will lengthen, the sun will once again warm the soils and we will eagerly continue the cycle. Until then, be well my good friends!
