Hail Update:
I'm glad to say that things recovering quite well after the hail storm last Friday. Here are some updates on crops for the coming week:
Collards:
It will be a few weeks until we are harvesting collards.
Lettuce/Salad:
We harvested and discarded a whole bed of damaged lettuce this week with hopes that we will get a second cut next week. If we are not able to harvest our own lettuce next week we will find a substitute for you. Above you will see that salad racing to regrow for next week.
Beets:
We are ready to harvest some beets. The beet greens are quite damaged but we will pick through them as best we can with hopes that there will be something salvageable there for you.
Kale:
We are also going to harvest kale next week and will do our best to sort through the most damaged leaves.
Green Onions:
Our green onions are not the most beautiful but they will still add great flavor to your dishes.
Garlic Scapes:
Good to go.
Thanks for your understanding and your patience as the crops regrow.
Humble Hummus Week Off:
Amber from Humble Hummus will be away next week so unfortunately her items will not be available.
