weekly update September 14th

The season is getting a bit cooler, but there boxes are still filling up fast! This past couple of deliveries have left the boxes "too" full! Please, look for crates of extra items if you have a drop point...there are often items that we set to the side for you to pick out for yourself because we just can't possibly put them in the boxes.

Speaking of boxes....we have had a large number of them that are not getting returned the past few weeks. Please do your best to return them. If you are not able to do so, please consider leaving the box and bringing bags/boxes/baskets to transport your produce home from the drop points. Also, at the drop points, it has been asked that you please fold down your boxes and stack them neatly to save space and make the delivery areas safer for those walking in those areas.


Many plants are slowing down and dying for the season and the rain has kept the gardens quite muddy and messy. Cleaning produce has been a lot of work these past few deliveries. The days seem so short until the we reach the end of the season, but we are already starting (very simple, early) talks of next season and missing all of those abundant greens from the first several rounds of deliveries. They seem so distant on these cool mornings!

I haven't had time to rustle up some new recipes for this week, they will be my task to complete by Friday.

Expected contents of the boxes:
potatoes
delicata squash
spaghetti squash
gourds (not edible, but fun for decoration!)
brussels sprouts
2 kinds of kale
2 kinds of carrots (PURPLE will be one of them!)
beets
lima beans
dill
parsley
sugar baby watermelon (PLEASE take one from the crates, they won't fit in the boxes!)
swiss chard
bell peppers
yummy mix peppers
onion
and hopefully, a bit more spinach...[note here: this was the mystery item in the box last week that I was unsure of for those who contacted me.]
