Hey everyone,
Happy long weekend! Lovely last few days of summer. Hope some of you have plans to enjoy this part of the shoulder season.
We have garlic! From Buck Ridge Ranch and Gardens. We will put 1/3 pound into each box, but there will also be 1lb amounts available on the extras page if you want some to hold over for the next few months. As we are getting into the storage crop side of the year, we also have some bulk amounts of cylindra beets from Silver Birch Farm (awesome for canning), more 2 and 5lb bags of carrots, as well as white and Sieglinde potatoes. If you want 10 or 20lb bags of storage potatoes, we will be getting red potatoes from Buck Ridge in a few weeks that keep forever!
Our winter squash is coming on! The earliest varieties - Delicata and Acorn - are ready. If you haven't tried Delicata, it's amazing. The name refers to its delicate skin, which - unlike most other winter squash - you can eat. It also cooks very quickly, so you can add it as a side to a meal that needs to happen asap. I love any Delicata recipe that involves maple syrup, like this one.We will also have lots of spaghetti and butternut squash, but they need a few more weeks to ripen up.
SHARES GOING OUT WEDNESDAY, SEPT 8th:
One last reminder that shares will be going out on September 8th rather than the 7th this coming week! We are hosting my brother's wedding at the farm on Sunday so want to make sure we have a bit of extra time to get your boxes ready. Hoping this will work well for folks just coming back from the long weekend too. This will mean that all shares other than home deliveries will be at Mint & Lime as of 12:30pm September 8th since we won't be doing the Tuesday evening farmers' market.
If you have any troubles with this plan, however, please do let me know!
Thanks, everyone. Have an awesome weekend!
Your Farmer,
Brianna
