Hello everyone!
I hope you all managed to enjoy your long weekends despite the smoke that rolled in.
It is a bit quieter this week here on the farm! Two of our awesome farm staff, Maria and Cailin, worked their last day and carried on North in their camper van. It was quite difficult to see them go - we've had a super great team this year that made getting all your veggies planted, weeded, and washed both efficient and fun. They are great workers and people, and I am really sad to see them go. The tough part of seasonal teams. So we spent our last morning together at the Gecko Tree.
This week's veggies are a lot of the same, as this is the time of year when just about everything is ready! Still waiting on some crops like leeks and winter squash but even those should be ready in a few weeks.
We are planning to get both garlic and potatoes from 2 different farms on West Fraser Rd: Buck Ridge Ranch and Silver Birch Farm. We will include garlic a couple of times in the remaining boxes, and will also offer it for bulk sales on the extras page. Will let you know when we've got those ready!
We've got a new bed of arugula this week, which is amazing, and more of the hot crops like tomatoes, beans, eggplant, cucumbers, and sweet peppers.
Thanks for your support, everyone. Look forward to seeing you Friday!
Your Farmer,
Brianna
