Amazing Greens!

Posted on September 18th, 2024 by Farm Manager

We're moving swiftly into the season of reds, oranges, and yellows.... but wait! We still have some amazing GREENS to share with you! We've had the surprise of an unusually long string of warm sunny day that feels a far cry from the heavy rains of July and August. Our greens are thriving in this weather, and we have a huge variety to offer this week- escarole, red leaf, romaine, arugula, salad mix, spinach, broccolini, and kale! Not to mention the perfection of our radishes, turnips, and green beans right now.

There’s something of a manic energy in the air, as the asters bloom and the tomatoes keep pumping out fruits and every day seems like the last chance to eat a creemee or swim in the lake or wear jorts. It’s felt like an extra summer. We have no control over it, of course, so can just enjoy it as a gift.  It’s energizing, and a welcome contrast to other realities and concerns.
