Welcome to Week 13!
As you can see from the picture, we have some delicious cucumbers right now and they're in abundance! If you like to make pickles, now is the time to order a load of them and preserve them for winter. You might not know that any cucumber makes a good pickle! Especially the variety we grow, called Corinto, as we harvest them on the small side and they stay very crisp. Actual pickling cucumbers are still growing and should be available soon!
PACKAGING UPDATE: We recently switched our microgreens/shoots clamshells from petroleum-based PETE plastic containers to bio-based, biodegradable containers from a Canadian company called Good Natured. Though our region still doesn't accept plastic recyclables, if you throw these containers in the trash, rest assured that they will break down in a short time into benign components that are safe for the environment! We feel much better about them and are pleased to offer them to you and our grocery store customers.
Below you will find pictures of some of our fall crops maturing, and a sweet pic of June helping Katherine push the Jang seeder to get some winter greens in the ground!
Have a great week and enjoy the produce!
Katherine and Spencer
