Welcome to week 22 of the 2021 Main Season Share. This means that including this week, there are only three deliveries left in the main season, and then we transition to the extended fall season. If you haven't received an auto-renew email, then you are not signed up for a fall share. There are still a few spaces left, so get that done soon. If you did receive an auto-renew email, but don't want to continue your veggies after the 19th of October, then respond to this email and let me know you would prefer to cancel. Also, please remember that starting on October 29th, all shares will be weekend shares, with Rountree on Friday from 4-6, farm pickup anytime between Friday at 4 and Sunday at 9pm, and home delivery on Saturday sometime between 8 and 5 (if you need to have a more exact time, you can email us Friday morning before your delivery, and we can narrow it down)
More changes! Harvie has added some utility on the farmer side of box building that we are excited about; essentially, we are able to hold back a small amount of produce which will not get assigned to members right away, but that will be available to swap into your box. This means that if you are frustrated by never quite snagging those cherry tomatoes, or fresh ginger, you now have a much better chance of getting those specialty items. For example, this week there are figs available to be swapped into the shares. So try it out, let us know what you think. This week we also have the first Napa Cabbage, which is one of our favorites; we eat lots and lots of asian-style slaw this time of year with napa thinly sliced into a bowl and then nutritional yeast or other fresh ginger an sesame oil dressing over the top.
Thanks for choosing us to be your farmers.
