We're around half-way subscribed for the winter season, so many of you have already taken these actions since we first opened up CSAware a week ago. But some of you may not have gotten the message.
HARVIE ENDING, ACTION REQUIRED! Thank you for your membership this season. We don’t want to lose you as we transition to our new CSA management site CSAware to replace Harvie. If you haven’t yet signed up for next summer or this winter using CSAware, you can sign up at https://redfearnfarm.csaware.com/store/ or you can go to www.redfearnfarm.com and go to any of the “sign up” buttons.
If you do not sign up with CSAware, then your membership will lapse at the end of the summer season on October 26th. You must sign up with us at CSAware to guarantee your spot for the winter season or for next summer.
When you sign up for the first time with CSAware, you will need to continue as a new user. You will need to create an account with CSAware. There is no connection with your Harvie account. Your autorenew from Harvie has no effect. You are considered a new customer with CSAware.
We invite you to sign up now for the winter season which starts October 31st. You can also sign up for the summer 2025 season.
Sweet Potato Harvest Soon
Every October we do 2 or 3 big sweet potato harvests where we invite folks to come out and play in the dirt with us. We're planning on doing a first dig sometime this week. We'll post something to the CSA Facebook group when we have the details.
Farm Life
We're in the transition between summer and winter. Busily clearing out high tunnels from tomatoes and peppers and replanting them with spinach and carrots. It's been a bit tricky with the extra-warm September because the cool-season crops need cool weather in order to get established and you hate to tear out the warm season crops when they are benefiting from such unseasonably warm weather. But the days are shortening and the nights are getting cooler even if the days are still reaching the 90s. The summer loving plants like the okra just about stopped producing last week because of those cool night temps. Down in their bones, they know winter is coming. So, sometimes we have to go ahead and do our seasonal work according to the calendar and not according to how it feels outside that day. Autumn is beautiful. I hope you are getting outside to enjoy it before it slips away into winter!
