Our production in October drops by 50% of September production. September was a record month. The cool weather is part of the decline, although this coming week will be warmer than normal, but the decreasing light signals plants that it’s time to shut down.
Those with large balances on their CSA accounts should be are that the selection will be decreasing as the year goes on.
Two crops that are just coming into their harvest period are Brussels Sprouts and sweet potatoes. Watch for them mid October.
Farmers markets are coming to a close or going inside.
