Happy Sunday everyone. Exciting news, we will be at the Bedford Farmers Market this Tuesday from 3-6pm selling our produce! The Bedford market is located in the parking lot at Murphy’s Taproom right off rt 101 in Bedford. Stop in and check out what we’ve got going on!

What a nice little last hurrah of summer weather we got this week. Even though September is in full swing now and fall is on everyone’s mind, the abundance of harvest season is still not over on The Ledge. We have plenty of great, naturally grown produce available and lots more still on the way. Our winter squash crop is producing beautifully with plenty of butternut, delicata, acorn squash, and sugar pumpkins coming in and many more on the way. We have damaged winter squash that are available for order as well, these squash have minor cosmetic damages that don’t affect the quality of the produce within. Inquire about picking up some damaged squash when you place your order.

It was the year of sweet peppers on the farm! The intense heat this summer wasn’t great for everything, but our pepper crop sure loved it. We have beautiful and large sweet red, yellow, and green peppers available; perfect for stuffed peppers! We have gotten rave reviews of the peppers all season long, get some while they’re at their peak.

Fall is fast approaching, and so are our fall crops here at Ledge Top. We are having a great season for winter squash so far, with plenty of beautiful and LARGE butternut squash coming in! We have butternuts ranging from 2 lbs all the way up to 5 lbs! As the temperatures drop and you look for a hearty way to warm up, roasted butternut squash soup is a great way to nourish yourself. Here’s one of my favorite recipes: https://cookieandkate.com/roasted-butternut-squash-soup/ This recipe can be made with Ledge Top squash, onions, and garlic! Cook up some kale chips from our red russian kale to add a nice crispy garnish or side.

Cherry tomatoes and valencia heirloom tomatoes are still coming in strong. If you haven’t tried them yet, valencias are a vibrant yellow heirloom tomato that are very low in acid giving them a super sweet flavor.
