News from the Field
We still have 5 weeks of shares, counting today. The last pickup will be the week of November 16th.
You may have noticed white tarps out in the fields. This covering is called "remay", a woven fabric used to protect crops in very cold temperatures. They will add about 10° to the air temperature underneath and extend the season a couple of extra weeks. We use this in spring, too, so we can plant early and have your produce ready earlier.
We are busy harvesting the remainder of the crops. A few items will still grow at these cooler temps -- Brussels sprouts, chard and kale are being picked daily.
You can buy a few items in bulk now. Fill your root cellar and have veggies all winter -- potatoes, turnips, carrots, garlic and squash.
Please enjoy our fresh organic vegetables!
