Our CSA and market season is past its halfway point,
so I thought now would be a good time to share a little glimpse of what is still to come — and what you might expect to find tucked into your vegetable baskets over the coming weeks 😊…
Excluding this week, there will be 7 market weekends and 8 Wednesday-Thursday vegetable deliveries remaining between now and November 12-13. For those of you who took some time off this summer and have double baskets to make up, the time has come to start doing so. It is generally best not to wait until the end of the season: trying to plough through three double baskets in the last three weeks can be a daunting task…
Our Italian tomato deliveries are nearly done,
and we are getting ready to shift gears to garlic — likely to be delivered during the week of September 29. A confirmation email will follow as we near that date.
In the fields, we are switching to autumn mode.
Goodbye tomatoes and eggplants, hello root vegetables and winter squash. Do not be surprised if you see a repeat of spaghetti squash over the next couple of weeks — the main reason for the repetition being that they do not keep as well or as long as other varieties (acorn, butternut, et al.). Very soon, you will also start seeing the likes of celeriac, rutabaga, and daikon radish, regularly accompanied by potatoes, leeks, and carrots. The sun may still be shining brightly in the sky, but out in the fields, it is full-on Fall.
In this week’s basket:
winter squash, radish or turnips, carrots, peppers, leeks, leafy greens, fresh herbs, onions and more…
We look forward to seeing you soon.
