Week #10 — Note from the Farmer –What to do with Fennel? Corn Available, Farm Festival –Activities for Kids

Dear CSA Member,

The weather has been cooperating for us these past few days and the tomatoes have been ripening nicely. It is so important for the tomatoes to have hot and dry days. Also, this week you will be getting another round of Fennel. Fennel has done really well this season. Not sure what to do with Fennel? Click Here for great ways to prepare and eat fresh fennel. If you have a fennel recipe you would like to share please email it to the farm. info@stoneledge.farm

We hope that you will mark your calendar with the upcoming Fall Farm Festival. The Fall Farm Festival will be held on the farm September 2nd from 11:30-3:00. Please use the 145 Garcia Lane, Leeds, NY 12451 address. There are directions on the farm website Contact Us tab or using your GPS. It is a great day to come to the farm and see how your vegetables are grown, meet your farmers and walk the fields. We have the grill hot and will have pork as well as grilled Sweet Corn and Portobello Mushrooms and vegetarian chili.  There will be fresh fruit, Stoneledge Farm Coffee, and water. We ask that members bring a dish to share so that lunch is a giant pot luck get together. If possible, please bring your own place settings, utensils, and cup. No pets, please.

There are flowers to pick and take home from the flower garden. If you would like to take flowers home, please bring your own scissors and something that will keep the flowers until you get home. Wet paper towels or newspapers in a plastic bag will usually do the trick. There will be an “I Spy” game for kids of all ages as well as scarecrow making!

 

Reminder** Corn and Mushroom orders need to be placed by 12pm the Friday before your delivery. All orders placed after 12pm will be delivered not that week but the following week after. ***

Enjoy the Harvest,
Candice for Everyone at Stoneledge Farm
