Welcome to all of our new Meat CSA members! This is the first week of our Winter Meat CSA and we are excited to provide you all with grass fed beef, pork and lamb this winter.
For our Veggie members, this week will be the last delivery of our Summer Veggie CSA share. If you haven't signed up for our Winter Veggie share, there is still some space! Sign up here.
It's been a rainy week on the farm. Before the rain came, veggie crew harvested our corn that will continue drying for future cornmeal and popcorn. We didn't get much, but a little bit to enjoy on the farm. On the contrary, we have plenty of fall greens to last all winter long. The kale, collards and spinach are finally ready for your enjoyment. Cooking greens are so lovely because they can be incorporated into just about any dish to add that punch of nutrients and flavor.
We have officially completed our 2020 chestnut harvest. It was a great year, and we have LOTS of nuts available for purchase. People have been ordering our chestnuts from all over the country! A bag of fresh chestnuts makes a great gift, especially since they will last for a few months if stored properly. We've also still have plenty of ginger and turmeric if you are interested in adding any to your share. We love to use these medicinal roots for cooking and tea. Here is a link to a Golden Milk Recipe that uses turmeric and is absolutely delicious.
On the livestock front, we recently took 22 pigs to the slaughterhouse and the meat will be ready to pick up next week. They spent their last few weeks enjoying tons and tons of chestnuts that didn't make the cut for our customers. This pork will supply our 100 member Meat CSA through fall 2021 and we are grateful.
