Cool weather and rain is continuing to slow ripening. Tomato demand is exceeding supply. More and more items will be dropping out of what’s available. Some items just need more time to ripen.
The ginger crop is producing some and it will be available this week and then be gone. Not a good season for Ginger.
Lettuce is in short supply. Lettuce is planted every week, but we just can’t keep up with the demand.
Corn stalks are being harvested. If you want these for decorations they must be picked up at the farm. They are 12-16 feet tall, keep that in mind when you pick up. Small bundles $10. Large bundles $20.
The best days for pick up orders at the farm are Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The rest of the week we are picking for farmers markets and its more difficult to find the time to pick for orders, especially with the worker shortage. Our customized “you decide” CSA is very time consuming when there are worker shortages.
Be sure you have a confirmation that your order and pick up time are confirmed “OK”. If you don’t get a confirmation in a reasonable time, please send your request again.
