Greetings Members! 
We are sorry to tell you that we had to cancel this year's organic festival due to circumstances out of our control, We are already making preparations for next year's festival.
We had a few mixed potatoes last week! Some of you received the red skins with white flesh and others are referred to as red reds. This variety is called "cranberry". The skins are red and the insides are more of a pink shade. Fall season brings all the colors for you to try. Red, Gold, Blues, Red/Reds, Russets and the Fabulous Fingerlings. The welder spent a 10 hour day here on Sunday. We had to replace a badly needed piece of steel, creating the digger blade, on our potato harvester. We are now ready for digging spuds.

We have Broccoli again this week, so don't forget to soak it in salted water (1/2 cup for 2 gallons) for 10 minutes, just in case there is an inch worm hiding inside (although, not likely, as the cabbage moths have only had mild pressure to control this year). This is the last week for our wonderful beans, so enjoy, and make a batch of dilly beans for storing this winter. We do not have another flush of tomatoes coming but if anyone wants to order organic tomatoes to put up sauce or salsa (with this week's cilantro) just give me a call. The price changes weekly and it seems to be around $3.00/lb from our organic deep root friends.

Only 2 weeks left to sign-up for Fall Memberships!
