Farm Happenings for September 10, 2019

Posted on September 9th, 2019 by Jodi Danyo

New this Week:  Arugula, Mustard Greens, Broccoli Microgreens, & Clarion River Organics' Acorn Squash!   Head lettuce is also back!

This week, we introduce you to another one of our farm partners: Tait Farm Foods.  Tait Farm, located in central PA, produces a wide range of value-added fruit and veggie products on their certified organic farm.  Check them out here:

We have a selection of Tait's products available in our Farm Market & Cafe in Burgettstown, and we've added a few products to our farm share "Extras" offerings.  Order one or more of these products as an extra for delivery with your share this week.  The Raspberry Shrub and Alyssa's Berry Sauce are absolutely delicious!

 

 

This Past Week on Our Farm...

ARUGULA is here!  We wait all season for fall arugula, and finally, it's here and it's beautiful!  We can't wait to share it with all of you this week.

 

In the fields this week, we planted the last of the sunflowers, pac choi, kohlrabi, tatsoi, and new rounds of salad mix, arugula, and mustard greens.  Our fall carrots, beets, and Brassica crops are looking good!  We are hoping for a mild fall so we can continue to harvest lots of flowers and veggies for a couple more months. 

We are also excited about all the different microgreens we can grow in the less humid fall weather.  Microgreens are awesome little nutrient-packed veggies.  We hope you are enjoying them this season!

And last, but not least, it is time for another Farm Share member appreciation gift this week!  Everyone who receives a farm share will receive a free lip balm with their share.  Enjoy!
