Farm happenings for Week of September 28th

Posted on September 28th, 2020 by Kelly Morris

NEW! FALL HOURS: Please note that our new Fall Hours begin this weekend. They are Thursday, 3pm-6pm, Friday 11am-6pm, Saturday 9am-1pm. Like always, feel free to come during any of our open hours. Please arrive at least 15 minutes before we close to allow yourself time to gather your veggies.  

WINTER CSA: Signups for the Winter CSA close this Wednesday! Don't miss out on 6 more weeks of farm fresh goodness! All the winter crops are in the ground and we are super excited about extending the season to provide more food for you! Bread, eggs and mushrooms are also available to add to your Winter Veggie Share. Learn more and signup at www.homefields.org/farm

FARM UPDATE: Its just about October and that means Pumpkins! We're including New England Pie pumpkins in shares this week. These little cuties are perfect for Jack O' Lanterns or pies! We're also picking lots of pawpaws this week. If you are unfamiliar with this sweet, custardy fruit, give it a try! They are a deliciously messy treat eaten raw right out of the skin. They also bake well and can be used in place of banana in your favorite bread, pie or pudding recipes. 

ADD ONS AND EXTRAS: Just another reminder that Bread, Eggs and Mushrooms can all be added on to your Winter Veggie Share. Keep the goodness coming for 6 more weeks! 

UPCOMING EVENT: Save the date for our Fall Fest on October 17th. We're still working out the details for this shareholder only pumpkin themed event. 

Thank you from your farmers,
Katie, Elizabeth, Brad, Brian, Christina, Kelly, Angie and Matt
