CSA Week #17 - Pick Up

Posted on September 2nd, 2022 by Bonnie and Rudy Geber

Po-ta-toes! Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew...anyone else always hear this line from Fellowship of the Ring when they see potatoes!? Well, we still aren't totally finished with the potato harvest, but we are getting there and have plenty of them for your boxes this week and for market as well. One thing that the right side of our brains is happy about is the pleasant color palette of taters that we have now that we added in a red variety! We've just stopped harvesting for the day and one of our last tasks was to bag up a bazillion 10# bags of potatoes (well, a little less than that!). There will be plenty of potatoes input into next week's (the LAST CSA week!!) harvest estimate, so be sure to load up while we've got them!

There are lots of bulk order items in this week's delivery, and we'll be checking our list..twice..three times! But it still never hurts to just take a moment and make sure you grabbed your 10# bag of potatoes or onions or bunch of flowers. We have bulk items in net bags with a handle to make carrying easier, but come prepared if you've ordered a lot. We're happy to help carry items out to your car if we're able, but it's possible we'll be too busy to leave our booth at times. We look forward to seeing you all at pick up this week!

Cheers, Bonnie & Rudy

PS. Although it's too late to change anything in your Harvie profiles, it's not too late to change your pick up location if you need to for any reason. Just send us an email or text if you need to change your pick up spot from market (3-6:30 Thursday) or Farm (2-5 Friday), before 11. Why 11? Because that's when we start loading Vanna White, and it's near impossible to get at anything in the back once we've started loading!
