CSA Week Eighteen

News from the field:

This is it! The End! Fini! And just in time, in a way – it was seriously cold at the farm at the end of last week. Mid-20s. It gets hard to keep the veggies growing in that kind of weather.

But if the weather wasn’t holding us back, we would want to keep going. We had a blast this season, and we sincerely appreciate everyone who was a part of the CSA. It is a model that helps keep local agriculture viable, and it gets you the freshest, yummiest food you can get. We appreciate your support!

So enjoy the last basket! Only 3 months until we start the tomato seedlings for next years greenhouse crops!

In the Basket:

Tomatoes. The last remnants of summer, thanks to those greenhouses.

Green things: Spinach, broccoli and romaine. The spinach is good, and e coli free! We know we keep throwing romaine at you, but it is the one lettuce that can take this kind of cold weather. We figure it is better than no lettuce.

White things: Cauliflower and salad turnips. We are actually going to make a stir fry tonight with the stuff from today’s harvest – broccoli, cauliflower, salad turnips, onions, and carrots, plus some tofu and teriyaki sauce. Wow. I am getting hungry just thinking about it.

Onions. If you haven’t used all your onions from a few weeks ago, don’t worry – these onions should store well in any cool dry place.

Carrots. A another big bag, and another recipe idea on the back.
