Farm Happenings for October 29, 2021

Posted on October 26th, 2021 by Peter Seely

Our potato harvester going full throttle before a recently predicted rain

This week's offerings:  Lots of peppers coming, but tomatoes are basically done.  Spinach and salad mix are looking slim for the future as well. With a couple of good frosts under our belt, kale should be a bit sweeter, and carrots should be tasty, too; those are also available this week.  Some pie pumpkins at the store, in case you wanted to make your own pie, or make a small jack-o-lantern!

Next week:  More Brussels sprouts coming, along with gold potatoes, leeks, scallions, red cabbage, carnival or buttercup squash, and maybe the last of the peppers and eggplant.

No apples being offered this year -- Dave Bohnhoff's apples did not yield much at all, and Brightonwood Orchard also had a poor crop.    We will be bringing over the frozen blueberries from Michigan as in the past for one of the last deliveries in November.

Sorry for tardiness -- got the last of the potatoes harvested and put away!  Hooray!  Now on to sweet potatoes and carrots!

Have a good week!  After this week's delivery, 2 regular season deliveries remaining.  (Or one for the every-other-week crowd!)
