Week #18 — A Note from the Farmer

Dear CSA Member

It has been a warm and sunny start to fall. We really need some rain and there was a nice rain storm that passed through yesterday. Almost an inch of rain. Just what we needed.

The root crops continue to be spectacular and this week there is a beautiful rosy red turnip, Scarlet Queen.  The greens are still very nice and can be cut from the turnip bulb and used as a cooking green.  

The potatoes are wonderful as well. Such a tasty treat to have freshly dug potatoes. We dig them, wash them and pack them for your shares. You really could not get any fresher.  

Ancho Peppers and Cilantro before the frost. It seemed like a fitting end to the summer vegetables. There are CSA members that are busy in their kitchens brewing hot sauce the likes I have not seen before. The pictures look stunning.  

There are Certified Organic Potatoes, Kale, Cabbage, Hot Peppers in bulk available for CSA members through the online CSA Marketplace.  Bosc Pears and Jona Gold Apples.  The fruit is local, conventionally grown.  Honey, Maple Syrup, Chocolate and Coffee always available online as well.

THIS WEEK IS A COFFEE SHARE DELIVERY. COFFEE SHARE MEMBERS PLEASE REMEMBER TO PICK UP YOUR COFFEE.

Enjoy the harvest.
Deborah for everyone at Stoneledge Farm
