After many hours and lots of effort from the farm crew and our fabulous volunteer crew, we have all of the onion crop in from the field and drying on tables inside the greenhouse. This year's crop is looking like a knockout and we'll be enjoying a plethora of red onions and yellow onions starting in a week or two. Most of the varieties still need more drying time to be fully cured, but the sweet white variety, Sierra Blanca, is ready to go this week. I didn't plant a lot of this early white variety, so we'll start out onion season slowly, with the bulk of the crop coming later in the month and into October.
Don't worry about the end of summer crops yet, though--we still have a couple weeks to continue savoring tomatoes and peppers and husk cherries!
Farm Fresh Yoga is happening this week! Join us Tuesday at 5:30 at the Yellow House for an engaging class with our yoga-teacher-in-residence, Maureen St. Croix. Bring your mat if you have one and get ready to enjoy a breezy evening class as the sun sets.
We still have LOTS of weeks of veggies ahead of us in the CSA share this year, but I want to make sure you mark your calendars for our end of season Harvest Dinner on Tuesday 10/27 at 6pm. More info coming in the weeks ahead!
Still have some tomato canning you want to get in before tomatoes take a bow? We'll have a limited number of 20 lb boxes of ugly tomatoes available this week for $20. Email me to reserve yours.
In your share this week: the aforementioned kale and white onions, small eggplants, the last of the squash and cucumbers for this year, green peppers, hot peppers, husk cherries, tomatoes, and Pick Your Own flowers.
Congratulations to Farmer Ed & the livestock crew on the newest member of the herd, a boy born on Sunday. Mama and baby are both doing well.
