Sing the pebbles into perfection.”

Earth Dance Farm Fall Share 2013
We went from 93 degrees to 43 degrees in less than 5 days last week. And it felt mighty wonderful to wake up to those chilly fall temperatures. And now that September has arrived, and the kids have returned to the classroom, it is time to think about the fall share season.
The final delivery, #18, for the summer share will be on Thursday October 24th. I will again offer a fall option to extend the season into December with 3 bi-weekly deliveries on Tuesdays, Nov. 5th, Nov. 19th, and Dec. 3rd. These will be bushel boxes (the brown, full share box is ¾ bu.) filled with many root crops (beets, carrots parsnips, potatoes, rutabaga, onions), storage vegetables (pie pumpkin, apples, winter squashes), honey, popcorn, hardy greens, herbs, brassicas, and more. It can be an easy way to continue to eat fresh local produce until the end of the year. I will also have eggs for sale (separate share) as my new chicks will start laying at any time now.
The price is $150 and sign-up can be done online at: http://earthdancefarm.net/sign-up Please consider joining us!!
Some of you have paid at the beginning of the summer season and others of you reserved your fall share with a $50 down payment. I will send out an email to remind you of your situation.
Farmer Notes
- Green beans gone wild
- Last of the Canteloupe – eat them up tonight
- End of Garlic – poor crop from poor seed crop
- Sweet corn is delightful. Look out for some damage/worms at the tip
- We are bone dry down here. We have received 1.5 inches of rain in the last 6 weeks. Drip line irrigation is constantly running
- This is a full, heavy box folks – Enjoy!
- Wash all of your produce before consuming
