Hello CSA members,
Here on the farm, we are mostly grateful for some nice rainy days. The greenhouses are ship-shape, the garlic is being processed, the data entry is up-to-date, we are crushing our frozen product storage goals for the year, and the work shop has been busy. Some of the crops are quite happy with the rain. Unfortunately, some of our direct seeded crops are getting washed away right now. Kelsey and I put out straw bales to slow down some of the moving water but we will lose some crops as a result - a handful of fall carrots, beets, lettuce, and spinach. We should still have plenty of each of those to go around though. I am looking forward to some very mild, sunny days ahead.
Good news: melons are in full swing! The cantaloupe look kind of unusual, they caught me off guard because they didn't look ripe. But we have cut open dozens and they are all fully ripe and totally delicious. If you happen to get one that is underripe, or unsatisfactory in any other way, please just let us know, we will get you a new one. The watermelon are also starting to come on - look out for those next week.
Have a great weekend!
