What’s in the Box?
The rainbow carrots are perfect right now. They look great on a veggie tray, and taste best roasted.
Our butterhead lettuce is looking lovely; lettuce really struggles in August so this is a big win.
We have a flood of basil: pesto time is now. I like to make mine with sunflower seeds because pine nut prices make me sad.
Cuc's are still coming, but the plants are getting hit with disease so enjoy them while they are here (probably another month or so).
Peppers soon, just look!
On the Farm
Things are honestly pretty great. Just take a peek at these fall brassica's (below). Fall root veggies look the best they ever have, and field plantings are winding down. Soon we'll start pulling spent summer crops from hoophouses to make way for winter greens. Speaking of WINTER greens: now is the time to sign up for the Winter Share if you haven't already.
