CSA Update
10/27/2009 6:55pm by Adam and Chandra Mitchel
Greetings from the Farm,
This is our second to last week of the CSA season. While the cold and rainy weather can put a damper on the overall enjoyment of farming and working outside, there is a unique and special feeling that comes with Autumn in Michigan. We hope that the produce that you have been receiving is offering a positive transfer of this specialness.
Please remember to bring back your plastic bin next week and collect your check for the $15 deposit. We won't be doing bin collection or deposit returns after next week, as we will also be finishing our market season next week.
Our end of season Farm Party was great fun, we're sorry that more members weren't able to attend. The pumpkin pies that Chandra baked, and the beautiful music that the Dorkestra band performed were some of the highlights of the night.
This week's shares will contain:
$4 Butternut Squashes (2)
$2 Red and Yellow Onions
$2 Green Leaf Lettuce
$2 Red and Green Cabbages (small but sweet)
$2 Curly Kale tops (the entire portion is edible, chop up the stems
$3 Brussel Sprout Crowns (these are the leaves from the top of the plant, also known as the "Emeralds of Autumn") - they can be prepared just like Collards (their very close relative) or Cabbage.
$2 Bunch of Red Radishes
$2 Bunch of French Breakfast Radishes
$1 Cilantro
$20 Total Market Value
Here is a sneak peak at what we plan to put in the shares for next week, our final week of this season (it's always possible that any of these items might not make it for various reasons, and there should be some items that aren't listed here, but at this point these items are looking great):
Pea Shoots
Turnip Greens
Daikon Radishes
Red Leaf Lettuce
Broccoli
Spaghetti Squash
Pie Pumpkins
Lacinato Kale
Collard Greens
Red and Yellow Onions
and....
Many thanks for your support,
Adam and Chandra
