Crop List: Onions, Leeks, Carrots, Potatoes, Collards, Specialty Radish, Beets, Sugar Dumpling Squash, Maybe Turnips, Garlic, Tomatoes
I'm sending all of you out there warm dry thoughts! It has been a rough week on the farm. I admit, my visions of fall involve gorgeous hillsides of color, elk bugling, sweaters and flip-flops. Most years it seems the cold weather creeps in slowly. 3 days of sleet followed by 5 days of gorgeousness. I guess Mama Nature had to balance out the the high temps of the summer! Oh well. I'm building character and an appreciation for good rain gear.
What does this weather mean for you? Your veggies may be a bit muddier. It is hard to wash things when it is 40 degrees and one is covered in mud and the fingers are barely working. Think of it as being closer to the source of your food! Check out our amazing soil! The workers are moving slower. We are doing our best to empty the garden, but this kind of moisture slows us down. No Cosmic Mix this week. It is really hard to cut delicate green leaves with gloves on, and too cold to work without gloves! Cutting mix, requires moving down the row on your knees. Ugh. We crossed it off the list!
We are cleaning, counting and dividing garlic when time permits. Everyone will get the same amount as we get it processed.
Even if the weather is not conducive to high speed harvesting, the veggies are awesome right now! Slow down, turn on the oven, soup season is here, roast some veggies, so much to enjoy! Winter squash is one of my favorites. It has been slowly growing all season, getting sweet and ripe. We picked it last week before it had a chance to get frosted. Sugar Dumplings!...how can you go wrong with that name?
Stay warm, appreciate your cozy home and thanks for supporting us!
