These mornings with a touch of cool in the air are the late summer mornings that we live for! Fall crops are filling up our fields more and more every day. Summer crops are waning, but still have some life left in them. As a farm crew, we are really excited for fall while also checking ourselves to live in the moment each day. >P
This is a glimpse into what our beans look like in the field:
Our fields with young fall crops look like this:
CURRENT HOT RECIPE TIP:
Seriously, most of the time you'll be in great shape if you just chop up the vegetable (whatever vegetable!!) and toss it with olive oil, garlic, and salt. Maybe saute said vegetable(s) in a pan first. Their flavor usually allows this simple approach to result in success!
Potatoes and Green Beans:
If you want to put more energy and seasonings into your dish, this Beans & Potato Recipe from Savory Spin comes highly recommended from Farm Share member Lesley. It's on our list to make today! (Translate that to: I just told our children they need to make that recipe for our dinner tonight. I delegate most cooking to our kids during the busiest summer months! Try it. I bet it will be wildly successful for you. Kids love rising to the position of getting to prepare food!)

Bread Share members: You just got a SEPARATE email to customize your bread share a few moments ago.
To Customize Your Share:
Each time you are scheduled to have a share, you'll receive an email from us 2 days prior. It should have subject line "Time to Customize Your Share." The software will create a default share for you (based on your indicated preferences and what we have available to harvest) and list those default contents in the email. The email also contains a link saying "Want to make changes to your share or add extras?" Click on that link to customize your share! Customization ends between 6 and 7 am on the day before your pick up day (depending on the time of year and thus how early we start harvesting). The cut off time is always specified in the email.
For Pick Up:
- Same for cooler(s) at pick up locations with any cold items that aren't vegetables (eggs, fermented vegetables, etc...See below for more info.)
- Preparation ideas and recipe suggestions are in your email. Also check out our Pinterest Page for lots of recipe ideas, organized by vegetable.
EGGS: Ring-a-Bell Farm in Pamplin offers their eggs for sale through us. Their chickens live on pasture and are fed supplemental non-gmo feed from Sunrise Farms. Their eggs are fabulous and we trust their farming practices completely. You can purchase their eggs in our self-serve FarmStand at our farm and you can order them through the Harvie system "Extras" when you customize your share.
We so deeply appreciate the opportunity to farm for you. Thank you for being the most important part of our farm! We love you!
With blessings on your meals ~
Janet, Dan, and the whole Broadfork crew (Julie, Siera, Leah, Erica, Alisa, Jen, and the farm kids)
