November 29th at Ledge Top Farm

This November has been colder then before so the ground doesn’t thaw unless there is good sun and higher temperature during the day. Beets radishes and turnips have been locked in frozen ground.

The deer have jumped the electric fences which don’t work well with snow build up at their base. They have taken all the carrots, broccoli and beet tops. Last night they cleared out the snap peas. Hungry deer!

There are two farmers markets this week: Peterborough Wednesday from 3-5 PM at the Peterborough Community Center, and this Saturday the Milford Indoor market at the Town Hall Auditorium from 10 to 1PM.

Farm pick ups are still going, but the tent and table are down due to the snow. Orders will be in a red cooler, where the tent was set up. Your payment can be left inside.

If you still have CSA credit you should use it up. All credit is forfeited Dec 31st 2021. New CSA sign up start Jan. 1, 2022.

Here’s what’s growing:

Arugula $4 per bunch

Swiss chard $4 per bunch

Red mustard $3 per bunch

Hearty greens $5 per bunch

Beet greens $4 per bunch

Tokyo Bekana $3 per bunch

This Asian green(Tokyo Bekana) is very lettuce like, milder than lettuce.

Beets $4 per bunch

Brussels Sprouts $5 per pint

Collards $4 per bunch

We can run out of any of these when there are many orders. Except for arugula and hearty greens mix there are very low quantities of most items.
