Farm Happenings for October 5, 2021

Posted on September 30th, 2021 by Lindsey Visser

Potatoes have been a big focus this week!  We have been working to get all of the potatoes harvested and into the cold storage before winter.  It is looking like it will be a good potato harvest this year.  The potato cold storage will be full! 

Now is the time to sign up for the winter CSA!  Here are a some details:

 - We are switching up the payment plan to try and simplify things.  When you sign up you will pay for the first week's box.  Then starting the second week your card will automatically be charged with each delivery.  Want to pay off the full balance?  No problem, just let me know and I will contact the Harvie team to take care of that for you.  This new payment plan is much easier to understand and will make placing shares on hold much easier.  

- Every week and every other week shares are available.  The program will start the week of October 18 and go thru April.  Signing up for the every other week share?  Make sure to check your start dates! 

- What will be be having available?  The shares will start out will all of your fall favorites like broccoli, brussel sprouts, fall squash, leek, cabbage, cranberries. tons of root veggies, apples and greens that we have growing in the greenhouse.  Then as we move into January and late winter there will be all of the root veggies like potatoes, beets, onions, carrots, parsnips, turnips, celery root & rutabagas.  We will continue to have salad greens, chard, collards, kale & microgreens grown in the greenhouse.  We will also include apples and dry beans. 

 - Pick up locations:

  • Farm - Tuesday (3 - 6pm), Wednesday (9am - 6pm), Thursday (9a - 6pm) & Saturday (9am - 5pm).
