A busy week on the farm! It seems to be the time of the season where everything comes in at once. Although it has been uncharacteristically hot and dry this year, things are growing better than ever on the Ledge. 

Potatoes are in! We have six different varieties available this year; Carola is a yellow german potato with an amazing creamy texture, Fingerling potatoes are small, tubular potatoes perfect for roasting, Kennebec is a smooth white potato with thin skin hailing from Maine and great for frying, Red chieftain is a beautiful red skinned potato, Russet is a staple potato known for its versatile cooking uses, and Yukon gold is a semi-starchy semi-waxy potato with a yellow-tinged flesh making it an excellent all around potato. All potatoes are new potatoes and don’t need to be peeled, enjoy them skin and all!

Here’s what’s available this week:

Arugula $5 per bunch

Basil $5 per bunch

Blueberries $4 per box (half pint)

Red beets $4 per bunch

Our winter squash have begun bearing fruit and we are looking at a good harvest come late August and early September.
