Rainy

Another tropical storm semi-averted, with an original forecast of 5 inches of rain downgraded to actual rain of just over 2.5 inches. Regardless, it’s a late start for us today as we wait for things to dry out before we get out into the field. The fall harvest continues to increase, with our popular hearty winter salad mix and baby spinach both making their fall debut in the next couple of weeks. We’re already heavy into the fall cabbage harvest. All of the earlier variety has been harvested and the later variety is beginning to head up. Cabbage is a consistent favorite at our house. It is an extremely versatile vegetable that can be used in many ways and can keep for long periods of time in refrigeration. We eat it both raw and cooked in a variety of dishes.

Below is this week’s harvest list. We look forward to seeing you at the market!

    We sure are getting tired of these “tropical” deluges which should be staying tropical. I’m sure clean up for you guys
    must really be annoying. The dog’s paws are probably more of a pain than the veggies! The list looks great and I’m
    looking forward to the spinach & winter mix.
    Caleb looks wonderful on that enormous tractor type machine. He must have felt very powerful! Love the socks.
    Happy harvesting!

    I just love this picture of Farmer Caleb! And best luck as the ground dries out—what a relief that there were no more than 2.5 inches. We will be making a trip to the market in mid-October and look forward to your delicious Fall foods!
