Wowzers! Where has the summer gone?!?! This is week 15 of the deliveries already! Some have asked when the last box will be coming, because according to our brochures, we stated a minimum of 15 weeks. Well, that was our goal to have no less than that. We are shooting for a full 20. That makes this week plus 5 more deliveries if the weather holds out. Should the weather take a drastic turn for the worse (cold!), the crops will drop off, and the boxes will become more empty again, but there will still be items in them such as potatoes, carrots, beets, cabbage, etc. that can handle the cold that will be available for the boxes if they continue to be hardy and free of other damage.
Things have settled down at the farm, but with school starting, it will be interesting to see how we do on our timing, especially on Tuesdays. As always, I intend to get the boxes to their destination within the times scheduled, but it is not a precise measurement. We have learned a lot this year, and timing is one of the hardest things to pin down. There are just so many variables, it is amazing we can keep a schedule at all sometimes.
Contents of the box are once again a bit of a mystery to me. With the holiday weekend, I haven't been to the farm and we haven't had time for a letter to reach me. I expect that it will be many of the same items you have seen the past few weeks, without much variation.
I haven't had any new recipes shared with me this week, so I will have to do some digging of my own. I hope you all found great ways to use the eggplants that you had last week! I know some of you tried them in new recipes.
See you all soon!
Stacy
