On The Farm
This is a special time of year where fall is slowly flowing into the world, yet summer lingers. You could just as easily make a fresh BLT as you could a warm and comforting stew. The cicadas buzz alongside the harsh calls of the bluejays. I love these in-between times, when you can see change happening, and enjoy elements from both seasons at the same time.
This week we will take down our tomatoes, and begin to prepare the soil for our greenhouse plantings of spinach, bok choy, spring onions, salad mix.
Reminder: Mark Your Calendars for our Harvest Celebration Potluck on October 1st
Since we started our farm we have been dreaming about having an event to bring our Farm Share members together to celebrate the season. Now, finally, we are going to make it happen! Please consider joining us on October 1st to share some food, tour the farm, enjoy some farm activities and celebrate our 5th growing season with us.

Wait, a potluck?: We love food, and we know you do too! We decided to host this event as a potluck because we know that sharing food brings people together. Bring an appetizer, or a main, or a salad, or a dessert, or a side, or a drink; share what you like to eat - whatever you bring will be welcomed and enjoyed. We’ll have some cards available so you can note any ingredients/allergens folks should be aware of.
Hope to see you there!

*NEW* this week:
We are harvesting our own carrots this week! We also have bok choy back! From Common Ground Farm, we have potatoes and for the canners out there, half bushels of roma tomatoes available for extra purchase.
Give this baby bok choy chow mein a try this week:

We made this on the weekend:
Pesto, goats cheese, and roasted peppers on toast from the Whole Grain Hearth. Sooooo good.
Hope you enjoy your veggies this week!
Thanks for keeping us growing.
Your farmer,
Kim
