It’s a gorgeous time of year in a gorgeous line of work. 

This is a picture of this week’s Farm Share through our CSA. Sign up now for your Fall weekly share on our website. It all comes from these fields, where we tend the soil and the plants.

New this week is some Frisee – the light gren heads above. We’re also field-blanching another variety of Frisee. See the little haystack looking things?

You say Pac Choi, I say Bok Choi…our research shows these being different words for the same thing. Whatever you call it, get some, check out our recipe page, and eat it up. Here it is in the ground:

Okra picking continues, while baby plants grow in the foreground.

The beloved Kohlrabi will be ready soon –

See you at market!
