Week 20

It looks like the last day of the CSA will coincide with our last day of dryness.  I don't love working in the rain, but I am ready for it.  

Thanks for joining us on what was a pretty wild ride on our end.  We are so appreciative of the trust you all put in us. We will be at the Oly market on Saturday and Sunday for another month.  If you have CSA credit, the sooner you use it, the better the selection will be.  

We hope you all have a wonderful winter.

Week 19

I was just scrolling through the internet looking for some dinner inspiration.  I saw a leek and goat cheese tart recipe and I remembered that I never posted the box contents.  The leeks and the celery root have me pretty excited.  The leeks are gorgeous and big, same with the celery root.  These are not vegetables we are good at growing.  We haven't actually harvested either of them yet so my excitement may turn into disappointment.  Fingers crossed!

Celery Root - The leaves are good for stock and the root part is great for soups, roasts, pot pies, chowders and many more things.  It can also be eaten raw.  

Spaghetti Squash

Potatoes - Taste great, don't look great - can't have it all.  Although we do shoot for looks and flavor and try pretty hard to achieve it, this isn't the year for gorgeous potatoes.  

Leeks

Rainbow Carrots

Garlic

Cauliflower - Large Only 

Week 18

Daikon- Red King has a pretty red exterior and a mild white interior.  

Shallots 

Delicata

Lettuce

Parsley

Collards - Grits with sauteed collards and eggs is a great way to start the day.

Slicing Tomato - Large Only

Week 17

Happy Autumn!

The farm is doing great despite us losing three employees in August.  I know we aren't alone in our labor struggles.  This was year three of labor shortages and the worst yet for us.  Last year started off rough but ended with our best crew ever.  I am not sure what we can do next year.   We did our best to manage the situation.  I am really looking forward to getting all the squash out this week and hopefully potatoes next week.  That should actually bring a little free time for projects.  We are so close to being in a better place. We are loving our new farm.  We walked to the river to celebrate the first day of fall and I see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Still a ton of amazing veggies out there to harvest.  You will get delicata next week!
