So the veggies are turning into preserves & filling up the freezer.. you get a call from your favorite turkey producer to let you know it's on the way, and perfectly plump pumpkins are predestined for pie making. Sure with the cool weather it's nice to reflect on the season.. but there is still so much to participate in for the busy foodie! Next week (Oct. 9 - 16th) is Organic Week throughout

The weather has been incredible and we’ve finally been able to put our black fly nets away to enjoy the sun properly! While our cabbages and peas are booming, the zucchinis and cucumbers are coming along nicely. Within your herb bags you’ll even find an edible orange flower from our zucchini plants; it has a squashy flavor and will look great atop your salad lettuce. As well, in the greenhouse,

A turn in the weather

The sun has been shining and the air has been hot and humid, so our plants are bursting! Our broccolis are the size of large fists and little cabbages are huddling in the lower fields. The squashes, peas and fava beans have even begun to flower. It won’t be long now and you’re share bags will be bursting with all of the above as well as plump green tomatoes and shortly after with bright red and
