News from the Field

One more pickup, next week -- the week before Thanksgiving! We are offering an additional THANKSGIVING BASKET for your dinner for $25. The basket contains 1 lb each of Beets, Brussels sprouts, Carrots and Turnips, 2 Butternut squash, a pie Pumpkin, and 5 lbs of white Potatoes. Place your order by Friday the 20th for pickup at the Farm on Saturday the 21st.

Our survey says 99% of our customers are happy with the quality and quantity of produce they received at Valley Dream Farm. There were way too many favorites to list them all. The least favorite category was varied, but cabbage and fava beans ranked as the top dislikes. Many loved the option to switch up to two items per week and took advantage with their least favorite items.

Many members wished for more sweet corn and so did we. We have to believe that next year corn on the cob will be back on track as it was in previous years. This week we finished planting garlic for next year. You can look forward to delicious garlic scapes in the summer and bulbs in the fall.

We hope to have you all back next season! Send in your deposit before the 21st to reserve your membership at this year's price. Next year's CSA membership forms will be available on our website soon.

Please enjoy our fresh organic vegetables!
