Find out what produce is available this week, the latest farm news, and more!

 

Week of August 30th at LTF

Beans are growing but slow and they are not keeping up with demand as are zucchini and summer squash.

The cabbage crop is robust this season and many are splitting before they are picked. So we don’t sell them and they are on the give away list.
Many of you have not started to use your CSA funds or are using them so slowly that we will run out of food before you get to use your money. There is still 2 months of growing and plenty of time  for you to order on a regular basis.

Please follow these ordering steps to insure I don’t miss your order.

No pick ups on Wednesday afternoon nor Saturday morning. Please pick up by 6 PM.

2. List one item per line with the quantity.

August 23rd at the Ledge

We are seeing a slow down in production for cucumbers, yellow onions, Kale, and carrots.  New lettuce is coming on strong. It should be ready in September.

Saturday we pick all that is available and it takes a few days for more to ripen. The cool weather slows things down too.

We have potatoes that have green areas that were exposed to the light. These green areas can be cut away, but we will not sell them. We will give them away. Let us know if you want some.

Tomatoes that are over ripe of damaged are also available for the asking.

Non salable pears are also available for free.

Please follow these ordering steps to insure I don’t miss your order.

No pick ups on Wednesday afternoon nor Saturday morning. Please pick up by 6 PM.

Next season, 2027, I will be finding a new model to sell produce from the farm. Trying to find help to keep the current farmers market model has not worked out this season. I’m leaning towards a 100% CSA model. If you have any ideas or suggestions, I would welcome them.

August 16th at LTF

The first crop of potatoes are just about done. Only a few pounds left. There is another crop planted and should be ready in October.

Winter squash looks disappointing. Lack of help has resulted in neglected squash plants which have been taken over by weeds. Very little if any squash there.
Pears are almost ready. There are picked green and ripen in boxes.

Explore The Benefits of CSA

Community Supported Agriculture has so much to offer!

Better-tasting, nutrient-rich, fresh produce

WHY?

Fruits and vegetables can be picked at their prime. This means your produce isn't over-ripening during processing, packaging and transit

Sustainable, environmentally-friendly farming

WHY?

Chemical-free produce means no groundwater pollution from pesticides and fertilizers, which means better drinking water

New varieties chain grocers don't stock

WHY?

Unlike industrial agriculture, local farms have the flexibility to grow hard-to-find heirloom varieties. This means you get to discover new crops and find new favorites!

So many advantages to participating in Community Supported Agriculture...

... AND THERE'S MORE!
