What you might see in your box this week:
Rainbow Carrots- wow these turned out beautiful this year!! Top them to keep longer in the fridge.
Butternut or acorn and sweet dumpling- we ended up not havinga great yield on our Butternut for some reason.amy were not even ready in the field and still green. Bummer. So half of you will get butternut and the other half acorn, which had a big yield.
Cantaloupe- somehow still pumping out! I would say to leave these on the counter for s day or 2 to sweeten up. Ronia says they are not the sweetest right out of the field.
Tomatoes, cherry and large- just a couple tomatoes!! This will be our last field picking, but that ok because it's our last box!
Sweet Peppers- seasonally, this is the best time for peppers! They are all turning color and are so sweet.
Broccoli/Cauliflower- some really nice big heads for some of you. This is also a great time for broccoli and cauliflower as it likes the cooler nights and warm days.
Radishes- nice big round ones. Not too spicy with the cool nights.
Celeriac (aka Celery Root, not celery)- this is in the same family as celery but it is grown for the root and not the tops, like beets and chard. It needs to be peeled first and then you can cube it up for soup stocks, creamy soups, stirfry, etc.
Celeriac soup with chorizo oil
Fennel- threw are some big heads in there! Fennel is gets used in stir frys, marinara sauces and creamy pasta dishes. Tops can also be used, the while thing!

Leeks- 2 or 3. These are the longest cropping the field!! They take forever but are worth it fornpotsto leek soup! You can use all the way up till it turn to leaves

Thyme- this herb is used heavily in our house during soup season! Dry it for winter!!
Popcorn, on the cob! for eating and decoration!- this is NOT ready to be popped. It will take until I'd day November to take off cob and pop in a pan old fashioned style. Use it for decoration until then!!
Zesty salad mix- a mix of lettuces, frilly mustards, arugula and kale!!
head lettuce- small red butter head or leaf lettuce making a reappearance! Wash again and store in a container or bag in fridge.
Purple Diakon- this diskon is actually a great snack if you slice in thin rounds or matchstick. They are not spicy, but kind of like the salad turnips. They are also great for any ferment type kimchi thing. Stores for s long time topped!!
