CSA Update
Greetings from the Farm,
The season is starting to wind down here on the farm. The warm weather crops are completely done now, the row covers could only help them for so long... The Fall crops are enjoying the cool weather, some more than others. You will notice the Collard Greens and Cilantro showing some Autumnal Red and Purple colors - this enhances the sweetness of the Collards and increases the aroma and flavor in the Cilantro.
After this week, there will be 2 more CSA pickup weeks.
This weekend, we will be delivering the Chelsea shares to member's homes on Friday instead of doing the market on Saturday. We have the end of season Farm party on Saturday, and would like to have the extra time to help prepare for the gathering.
This week's share contains:
$2 Carnival Squash
$2 Decorative Pumpkin Gourds
$2 Rutabaga
$2 Mix of yellow and red onions
$4 Green and Red Cabbage
$1 Red Radishes
$2 French Breakfast Radishes
$1 BokChoy or Ming Choy
$2 Collard Greens
$2 Cilantro (this goes great chopped raw and served over steamed bok choy, broccoli or cabbage, or used as a final ingredient in many soups)
$2 Sage (you can use this fresh, or wash it and freeze it to use fresh later, or dry it and you will find it to be the most aromatic dried sage that you've ever used)
$3 Broccoli
$25 Total Market Value
Many thanks for your support,
Adam and Chandra
