Farm happenings for Week of October 12th

Posted on October 12th, 2020 by Kelly Morris

FALL HOURS: 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.  

FARM UPDATE: We are swimming in Asian Greens this week! And they are gorgeous! I've added a generic Asian Greens item to shares, but also added specific varieties that you can swap in to make sure you get your favorite type! Asian greens are great sauteed with honey and soy sauce or garlic and ginger. Some of the milder varieties make excellent salads. 

WINTER CSA:  Its not too late to sign up for the Winter CSA! Your farmers have been busy harvesting crops like Butternut Squash and Yukon Gold Potatoes and storing them for the Winter CSA. We still have a few more spots to fill so sign up today to get your winter veggies from Homefields. Bread, eggs and mushrooms are also available to add to your Winter Veggie Share. Learn more and signup at www.homefields.org/farm
