Hello All, And just like that, summer has turned to fall. We thoroughly enjoyed the warmth last week, but the cooler temperatures feel a bit more apt this time of year. On Sunday morning we worked with a crew of people to fell some trees in preparation for our new hoop house. We will use the wood for firewood and the open space will provide more light for the hoop house and help protect it against future damage. The sun was shining brightly and we took a break partway through to sip cider and eat apple cider donuts straight from the bag. A wonderful fall Sunday indeed! Last week we dug up some of our perennials and transplanted them to a new area. We moved yarrow and echinacea, and tucked them in snugly with wood chips. All across the farm, rye cover crop seed is germinating nicely, spreading tiny roots and sending green shoots up towards the sky. A Few Important CSA Notes This will be the last week of pick your own flowers, so be sure to get some. We will mow them down to prepare for next year's garlic at the end of the week.

What's in my share this week?
This week may include: **As always we sometimes don't know until harvest day what will be ready and of good quality, but we do our best to give you a rough idea ** Collard Greens - beautiful sweet collards. We recommend sauteing with plenty of butter. Swiss Chard - perhaps one of my favorite veggies on the farm, mostly because of the rainbow. Saute with oil and add soy sauce and sesame seeds to eat. Leaf Lettuce - green and red washed and chopped lettuce, ready to go! Arugula - beautiful baby leaf. Spicy and tender. Baby Kale - tender baby leaf kale, washed and ready to use. Scallions - use as you would onions or leeks. Adds a nice strong flavor and can be used as a garnish. Peppers - the peppers are winding down but we are still harvesting some colored and green peppers, including lunchbox. Potatoes - yellow skin and flesh, beautiful potatoes, great for roasting or baking. Beets - fresh bunches with greens. Saute the greens like you would swiss chard. Carrots - sweet fall carrots. Finally some sizable ones! Butternut Squash - beautiful butternuts, perfect for roasting and soups. We love this variety because the seed pocket is very small. Celeriac - also known as celery root. Strong flavor, great in soups as a substitute for celery or roasted. Radishes - radishes are back. Spicy and good for fresh eating or in salads. Leeks - long tender leeks, great for soups. Available for Pick Your Own -
Hot Peppers - poblano, shishito, jalapeno, mad hatter, hot paper lantern
Basil
Parsley (curly)
Mint
Lemon Balm
Oregano
Sage
Tulsi
Chives
Lavender
All flowers - LAST WEEK!!
Recipes Ideas: I am very into one pot meals these days like soups and frittata. There is so much goodness coming out of the fields and we always have a plethora of our eggs so I like prepping breakfasts for the week with a frittata dish. The best part is you can substitute almost anything you have on hand and it will be delicious. Try this frittata and let me know what you added. And how about butternut squash muffins? I made some this weekend and they are so cozy. I make gluten free ones, but you can make whatever works best for you.
I highly recommend Dishing Up The Dirt website for recipe inspiration. She is a farmer and separates recipes by vegetable and season. Send us your recipes if you tried something and loved it! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! We are excited to be growing for you.
