WINTER SHARES: if you had a winter share this past year you are first in line to be offered one of our 100 Winter Shares. Your winter share auto-renew order for you to view and make changes this Wed September 22 - 29. WINTER SHARE WAITING LIST: get access to the winter shares that remain using this form.
Harvesting: Spaghetti Squash, Green Beans, Cherry Tomatoes, Beets, Okra, Colored Peppers, Yellow Onions, mixed Hot Peppers, Garlic, Red Potatoes, Parsley. ***Sometimes we have limited amounts of the first harvests. If you love something above and didn't get any this time, change your preferences to mark that veggie as a "5" and others as something lower. NEW: Spaghetti Squash should be cut short way through the middle to keep the long noodle like strands long. The tomatoes for the fall are grown specifically for our farm share members by our friend, Leroy, Sauder's certified organic produce. We love this arrangement so that we can keep offering you tomatoes after our field plants have died.
Farm News: The farm family is camping this weekend. You'll see some of some of our behind the scenes team at the farm this Saturday. Suzanne assists Tessa with customer service and managing all the information we use to build and deliver your farm share boxes each week.
Auto-Renew: As a convenience to you we will offer you auto renew options around the end of the summer season to save your spot for summer 2022. Find out more in this help article.
WINTER SQUASH STORAGE reminders:
- Winter squash is best stored at room temperature. It can be damaged at temps under 50 F!
- It's so pretty it makes a nice decoration until you are ready to eat it!
- Delicata and acorn squashes are short-term storage only, and should be eaten within 1-4 weeks.
- Best way to keep squash? Clean off all dirt and wipe squash down with a rag soaked in vinegar to remove spoilage organisms. Keep them in a spot where you can check periodically. Any soft spots? Time to use!
Let us know if you have any questions about your Farm Share CSA - we are happy to help.
We'll keep farming for you!
