Dear CSA Member,
These next few weeks are always very busy! Besides harvesting weekly shares, the fields need to prepared for the winter months. Machinery needs to be cleaned and winterized; barns need to be organized for next season along, with the setup of the website for 2019. Hard to believe we are thinking about 2019 already! The summer always tends to fly by.
Don’t forget to order your marketplace items now before the end of the season. Some things are already sold out for the season, but we still have plenty of great items available. Local honey, maple syrup, organic coffee, organic sriracha sauce, seed oils, cookbooks and more. These items all make great gifts as well!
New to the Marketplace is Stoneledge Farm handcrafted wool and yarn products. The temperature sure is beginning to fall these days! Why not cozy up with a warm handwoven wool blanket, or better yet a warm cowl scarf or mittens. There are plenty of options for you to stay warm this winter season.
Check them out!

Oaxacan Heirloom Corn Cob: This was an experiment that we tried this year and the corn looks beautiful. You can use as a fall decoration or make into corn muffins. It is VERY important that you follow the directions of sifting the corn after the food processing step to get all hard corn pieces out.
