Farm Happenings for August 22, 2020

Posted on August 17th, 2020 by Lisa Duff

Did I mention that last week, week 11, marks the half way point for Main Season CSA?  Some of you have been with us since April, others started in May, some began in June. There is a Fall share, just 4 weeks of November- It is filling up fast so those of you who would like to extend the season please sign up today but know that you'll have to pick up at the farm. This Hereford Farm Market ends the last Saturday of October.  We need and appreciate new members but our long standing members are our bread and butter and I don't want you to miss out on the November share. You'll see winter squash, lots of greens, potatoes, sweet potatoes, garlic, turnips, beets and carrots. Those shoulder seasons do repeat themselves for our signature salad mixes, arugula and spicy mix. 

Speaking of which...we have some arugula to offer this week! We planted lettuce this week and with cooler temps we're hopeful for its survival! It's been a rough go for the salad mix in the heat and I know most of you are looking forward to seeing it again. Patience, water, care and cooler temps will fill your CSA bags once again with our gorgeous, nutrient dense super fresh young greens!

NOW it's tomato season!  And BASIL, peppers, eggplant, spaghetti squash, celery and leeks this week!

Thank you for your continued support, your fun recipe ideas and stories of how you utilize this super fresh and hyper local produce! We love saying hello every Saturday!
