Farm News for August 11, 2022

Posted on August 7th, 2022 by Teresa Kurtak

A couple quick notes this week: 'Sarah's Choice' Canteloupes are on!! The season is usually only a few weeks, so enjoy them while you can.  They really are excellent and so much better than a grocery store canteloupe that was likely picked a week before being truly ripe.  Dry farmed Early Girl tomatoes are starting to come in in bigger volume- enough for everyone.  I'll likely start offering cases for those of you who want to can or freeze next week.  Sadly, the cucumbers are barely producing after having been hit by bacterial wilt and powdery mildew so we've taken them off the list.  I have added both Purple and Romano string beans as optional swaps for regular green beans.  

*Root Down Farm's Pasture Raised Chicken and Pork available this week.  Root Down Chicken and Pork are available in the Extras section the 2nd and 4th weeks of each month.  


REMEMBER TO CHECK YOUR PICK UP REMINDER FOR UPDATED PICK UP TIMES.  We are now delivering a bit earlier in response to your requests earlier this season.
