We are already eyeing the many seed catalogs and getting a few shipments of seed orders in. It's been good to look forward and make plans for next season,
The 2019 season has turned out to be a blessing with joyous harvests.
Matt and Erica are only part of the 8 person crew that harvested, cut, and cleaned carrots at RPFarm a few days ago.
Two wagon loads are finished and ready to be packed.
The week before an order of 3,400 pounds of carrots, yes that's over a TON AND A HALF, went to a new buyer in southern Ohio.
It was exciting for us to know that they were being shaped into baby mixed color carrots and headed out to school children as part of their farmer-to-food program with Local Food Connection.

Kalettes are being offered this delivery. They get their great taste by combining the best flavors from the Brussels sprouts and kale, resulting in a fresh fusion of sweet and nutty.
They have a milder flavor than Brussels sprouts and are more tender than kale. Kalettes are extremely easy to prepare and versatile.
* Added to Salads
* Roast with olive oil & salt
* Shred into a smoothie
* Steamed with potatoes, salt and butter
* Steamed Kalettes need no more than 3 or 4 minutes and they would be perfect with a piece of salmon.
At RPFarm we roasted a turkey and made an herb stuffing with 1 celery root instead of regular store bought celery stalks. Family agreed it was the best ever! This is defiantly a repeat for our Christmas Dinner in a few weeks.

Raising turkeys was a trial by the Anderson family the year. They have been raising chickens for years but this was their first-time adding turkeys. They are the farm that we support to bring you fresh brown eggs with your veggie boxes each delivery.
Here is our question to you...
Would you be interested in placing your Thanksgiving Turkey order with us in July?
This is when the baby turkey's would arrive to be raised out for Thanksgiving Dinner.
