THIS IS WEEK “B” for bi-weekly members

The farm is a bit chaotic these days, as we carefully study the forecasts and brace for the first frosts. Our peppers and tomatoes managed to survive the first frosty nights, but finally succumbed on Monday. The peppers in the shares this week were harvested on Sunday.

Now we race to get the root crops in from the fields before we get hit with the first hard frost, which could happen at any time…although probably not this week! It’s going to feel more like late summer at the end of the week. Strange.

FRUIT SHARE REMINDERS… ONLY TAKE FRUIT IF IT SAYS “F” Next to your name on the check-in sheet! FRUIT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE REGULAR VEGETABLE SHARES.

Fruit Share Members may take ONE bag of fruit from the open boxes at the site.

Vegetable Share Only Members DO NOT TAKE FRUIT BAGS.
