Mary Rank, helping here with the packing of the totes, with whom many of you also correspond via e-mail!
This week's offerings: We have more buttercup squash this week! Also red potatoes (partially peeled from the potato harvester!), a leek, a few different kinds of peppers, some radishes,
Coming soon: Other kinds of potatoes (russets, gold potatoes, purple potatoes) coming over the next few weeks too! Next week we'll have some delicata squash. Cucumbers winding down quickly; they are almost done. Tomatoes should hang on till the end of September or so.
Corporate takeover of the organic label: Here's a link to a piece from the Real Organic Project, where it is pointed out that Danone (owner of the Horizon brand of organic milk sold nationwide) is cutting out their smaller New England organic dairies in favor of the larger organic dairies found elsewhere in the country (Texas, California), which can produce cheaper 'organic' milk by buying in 'organic' grain from around the world, instead of relying on local pastures for the feed for the cows.

Too bad!
But we appreciate your support of Springdale!
Have a great week!
