CSA Update
9/11/2009 8:54pm
Friends,
I continue to be amazed at the weather we have been having. Usually September is just a continuation of the heat and humidity of August. Oops, we didn't have much heat and humidity in August. In fact, you have to go back to June if you really wanted to sweat!
We will be shorthanded at the market this week so we are going to ask you to serve yourself under the Mulberry tree. We will have a sign designating what each half share will get. If you have a full share, then double the amounts.
You will have a choice of Red Caribe or White Elba potatoes. The Elbas were just dug this week. We will also have cucumber, bell and other assorted peppers. (You may take 5-6 jalepenos this week but be warned that they are hot. Peppers grown in humid climates are hotter as they produce more heat to ward off pests and diseases that are not present in dryer climates.) Also we will have more heirloom and cherry tomatoes, three varieties of beans and four varieties of okra.
SAVE THE DATE. We are planning a CSA Festival here at the farm on Saturday, Oct. 3 at 4:00 p.m. You will pick up your share here at the farm that day and we are asking everyone to prepare a dish to share. We will provide meat, drinks and entertainment. Beth is also going to let everyone cut their own flower bouquet. We are excited about having everyone here where you can experience the place where YOUR food is grown. If, for some sad reason, you can't come, please let us know.
Thank you for supporting local, organic food. Thank you for supporting us and our great crew in our small attempt to make our world a better place.
