Week 16 CSA Pick-Up...Last week

What you'll find in your basket this week...

  • Potatoes
    • Red
    • White
    • Cranberry Red (these have a red flesh)
  • Peppers
    • Yellow Banana
    • Green Bell
    • Green Garden Salsa
  • Carrots
    • Fingerlings
    • Large variety for winter storage
  • Onions
  • Winter Squash (buttercup)
  • Carving Pumpkin
  • Tomatoes (hopefully)
We decided to give everyone the same "extras" since it's all things that will last for a while and we have a great abundance.

The gardens are done producing since we had frost 4 nights last week.  None were completely killing of the tomatoes, so hopefully we can pick a few that look like they have ripened since then.

Remember to bring back all of your boxes and bags.  We won't be bringing your vegetables in boxes this week, so you'll have to bring your own container to bring home your veggies if you don't want bags of potatoes rolling around in the back of your vehicle.

Thank you for a great season!  We look forward to next summer and providing your veggies again.  If you have any suggestions or new veggies you would like to try, let us know.  We are always looking to improve our CSAs.

We will again be selling only10 shares next year.  We'll send out the brochures in the mail in February.  We will give the shares to the first 10 people to return their money next spring.

Next week is our last week.  In addition to the regular basket next week, we will be posting a list of additional extra veggies that you can get.  Please let us know which ones you want of these once the list is posted.

The gardens are on the down hill.  The vines were nipped by frost this weekend.  Now we can see the squash and pumpkins to pick.  The soup beans are all dry and ready to pick.  The popcorn will soon be dry enough to pick.  The tomatoes and peppers are in full swing.  The potato plants are all dry and ready for harvest.  It's definitely been a great produce year!
