Refer A Friend program:  When you refer a friend using your unique link, both you and your friend will receive a $10.00 credit after they complete their order for a CSA share.  We still have two months left in the current season, so share away!

Your farmers have moved fully into their fall work, continuing to harvest fresh crops while preparing for winter.  That includes continuing to plant succession crops, cleaning out beds and putting them to rest, planting cover crops, and cutting hay for our animals.  We are all feeling the pressure of cold weather on our doorstep while having more to do than we have time.

Introducing Forever Green Farm, bringing us hand crafted kombucha from their farm near New Castle.  Our raw kombucha is a fermented tea loaded with beneficial probiotics.   It's made with black tea and is flavored using our organic cold pressed juices.   We use amber glass bottles to preserve and enhance the flavor and maintain awesome carbonation.  Flavors include Watermelon/Cucumber, Cranberry/Grape, Ginger/Lemon/Honey, and Pumpkin Spice.  Available in 6-packs.

Farm News

Glacial Till Farm

The salad mix is flowing off our farm, along with lots of delicious fall vegetables from our local growers.

Detweiler Farm

"Here on the farm we still have a lot of sweet banana peppers and bell peppers.  Get them before they freeze.  We are harvesting our winter squash, and we have our first broccoli of the season this week."

What's on my menu this weekend?  Chili made from our tomatoes, butternut squash soup with squash from Detweiler Farm, and mushroom soup with mushrooms from Full Moon Mushrooms.  Served with fresh salad made with Premium Salad Mix from Glacial Till Farm and homemade bread.  What are you making this week?

On behalf of your NWPA Growers farmers,
