Winter squash, and other fall crops, at our '10-acre' field This week's offerings: Sweet corn again, and lots of melons. Tomatoes, eggplant, and zucchini still producing well, and small carrots for all who want them. Slightly fewer beans and patty pan squash, & some broccoli. Coming soon: Leeks, onions and shallots, peppers, buttercup and delicata winter squash, potatoes? On the farm: We always lose a percentage of our work force at this time of year due to folks needing to return to school. Thanks much to both the teachers, and the students, who have been so helpful over the summer months to get things planted, weeded, harvested, etc. And good luck with the school season! Fortunately, we still have a number of others who can carry on with the farm tasks, both full-timers, and worker shares, and part-timers. Thanks to you all for all your efforts! Looks like labor-wise we are on course to make it through this season! (Right now we are halfway through the 20-week season!) Peaches: For those that ordered peaches, look for a box at your pick-up site with your name on it! Have a good week!
