Farm Happenings for week of August 2nd

Posted on August 2nd, 2021 by Kelly Morris

PICK UP HOURS: Pickup hours this week and every week are Thursday 3pm-7pm, Friday 11am-7pm and Saturday 9am-1pm. Despite what day you chose when signing up for your share, you are welcome to come during any of our open hours. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before closing to give yourself time to gather your veggies. 

FARM UPDATE: We've harvested the last of the early summer crops like cabbage and kale, and the late summer crops like tomatoes, eggplants and peppers are just beginning. This lull in the season happens every year. I planned to fill this gap in production with carrots and beets, but a series of failures due to weed and pest pressure means that we didn't get to harvest most of those crops. I'm adding a bunch of "One Item Credits" to shares this week since I'm unable to predict everything we'll have to harvest. You can use these credits for a variety of miscellaneous veggies or you can turn your slip back in to Susan and I'll add the credits to your account. I apologize for any inconvenience this causes.
