Farm to Table CSA

Good Morning Shareholders! Well after much tinkering, I think I have the farm blog up and going. I hope that you will enjoy this site for your farm news and CSA announcements. A computer "geek" or "whiz" I am not, so let's just give it a "try".

On this site you will find new recipes and other information that will keep you up to date about what's going on in your CSA. Originally I intended to have newsletters and recipes at your pick up site, but, that turned out not to be practical, so this is where it's at! Check out the blog frequently so that you won't miss out on anything that we want to pass along to you about the CSA.

Farm News: We have been busily planting more seeds by direct seeding as well as transplanting our
transplants from the greenhouse into the high tunnels. You know what, this is a never ending job around here. John will start soon putting up the newest high tunnel (hoophouse) which will give us more covered growing area. The deer fence he installed this summer, so far is working well. Let's keep hoping for the best here. The deer are pretty to watch, but are devastating to crops.

This week we began all our deliveries for the winter season. Hopefully everyone received their box! At first there are always a few "kinks" to work out. Your first box was a light box, but believe me it will get heavier as time goes on. The vegetables from autumn/summer will soon give way to winter harvest. You will still get winter squash for awhile, but tomatoes are now all gone, redskin potatoes won't be around much longer, and peppers will be not be available much longer either, since we have had a couple of cold snaps. Peppers are definitely a warm weather item!

Don't forget to check out the Epicurious.com website. Their recipes that I have tried have been very good and it's a good "go to" website when you get in a "recipe rut".

Before you know it Thanksgiving will be here and to me, this is a very special day. A day to celebrate and be grateful for so many things in life. So often the retailers spend so much time on Halloween and Christmas, that Thanksgiving is left out! That bothers me.. a lot! We are grateful here at the farm for many things, and one of those things is you - our farm supporters, our CSA shareholders. Judy
