THIS IS WEEK “A” for bi-weekly members

Fall crops are starting to roll in here on the farm.  This week we have the most beautiful cauliflower and the first round of acorn winter squash. 

A few notes on the crops... (1) We are getting to the very end of our tomato season, so you may notice a few more imperfections on the fruit as the plants wane. If you find a small rot spot, please just cut it out and enjoy the rest.  We will not have many more to replace them with in the coming weeks.  It's been a wonderful long season of tomatoes, so we're sending out the very last we can find on the plants. (2) Please be sure to wash the arugula gently - submerge in a bowl of water, carefully agitate and spin dry right away.  (3) The acorn squash are not meant to be stored for long.  You can keep them on the counter in a cool spot, but cook within a few days.
