Slow Farm News - September 2021

One thing I love about the farm is that it changes in a cycle over the course of the seasons - it’s not the same farm now that it was in the spring when we were harvesting asparagus and strawberries. The summer farm is maturing toward the fall farm now, with days a little shorter and thankfully a little cooler. The riot of color among the flowers is fading a bit, but we are at peak harvest for many of our most waited-on crops including eggplant, okra, peppers….And the raspberries have just started. Pumpkins and winter squash and brussels sprouts are coming soon!

Because we have so much to harvest and have had a number of requests, we are considering a trial CSA for the last 8 weeks of our season - if we can fill a limited number of spots. The quantities will be generous, with the understanding that we need your patience and feedback as we work out our process. So, if you are interested, the basic idea is: 8 weeks, $200, pickup Saturday from 9am-3pm. We won’t be able to accommodate or re-schedule missed pickups unfortunately. But we do plan to have a swaps and seconds box if you’d like extra produce. If you’re interested, sign up here and submit a $200 payment by Sep. 15th: https://forms.gle/WX4TeitaKagzSKvW6
