The farm is bustling right now, even though we are getting deep into Fall with the days shorter and cooler. We only have three weeks of the CSA season left; but on the farm we are ramping up to begin larger bulk harvests of winter storage crops so we can feed people throughout the winter. We had our first mild frost this past week and luckily no damage to any outdoor crops. This week we will clear a tunnel of tomatoes to make room for our late winter carrots, spinach, kale, and cut greens. So still much to do. We are happy to see some very weedy crop successions growing along; but definitely coming in later than expected due to a mixture of slightly late planting, heavy germination (too many plants not thinned), weed pressure, and low light conditions (too much shade and not enough direct sunlight). For this reason, you have not had any beets, carrots, or winter radishes yet. We will get you some before the season is finished, even if they are small; but it is a reminder to us that all these conditions deeply affect the timing of crops. Overall though we have a lot of food and are very happy to have had such abundance in our cooking greens and sprouting cauliflower crops so far. The frost we just had will undoubtedly make the collard greens so much tastier, so we hope you enjoy. Check out the recipes below…..Autumn & Brian
