A beautiful fall week on the farm—how bout that nice 70F and sunny weather we’ve had! This week, the team began
harvesting celeriac and parsnips. We had lots of takers for parsnips at the farmer’s market— we’re excited that
people are excited about them! With our outdoor field work starting to slow down, we’ve been continuing to work on
some farm maintenance projects including brush work, irrigation system repairs, and taking down our tomato
trellising. We are sad to see the last of summer go with our outdoor tomato fields, but are very much looking
forward to cauliflower, collard greens, and root veggies now ready for harvesting. Hope you all are having a good
week and enjoying the fall veggies!
