We're picking the first spaghetti squashes this week. Some of them may need to yellow-up for a couple of days on your kitchen counter. There's also a variety of squash called buttercup which has a sweet note and should be prepared the same way as acorn squash. This is the second-to-last week of the regular CSA season, so we'll be leaving just bags at group sites, not boxes. Look for the bag with your sticker on it. If you have any leftover boxes at home, please bring them to your group site this week.

About the farm
Great Country Farms is a diversified family farm on the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Using sustainable growing practices, we raise 50 to 60 crops each year, which we sell to members and visitors. We believe it is important to make clean, nutritionally vibrant food available to as many people as possible. It is our mission to give people a chance to see how their food grows, and we want to preserve the ecosystem of our soil for future generations.
