Week 14

Hi Everyone,

Week 14 finds many items in the crates. We are including a basket of Big Mama and San Marzano tomatoes, along with the regular Heirlooms and Beefsteaks. The mamas and marzanos are great for bruschetta and salsa. Just a reminder, for you sauce makers out there, we have crates of the Big Mamas and San Marzanos for $15 for 30+ pounds.

This will be the last week for the Cantaloupes. Last year we didn't have much luck with the melons and this year they came on like crazy. Next year we will stagger the planting to get them more throughout the season.

The Patty Pan squash (flying saucer) is cooked like any other squash, you don't have to skin it.

For you Sweet Potato fans...I dug into them yesterday to see how they were doing and found them to be massive and beautiful. They should cure for a couple of weeks after they're dug, so you'll see them coming to a crate near you soon!

Many of the Fall crops have been planted in the last week including, radishes, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, turnips, kale, a variety of lettuces, kohlrabi, snap and sugar peas, and beets.

In the crates this week:

Tomatoes
White Potatoes
Hot Peppers-the redder the hotter
Squash
Garlic
Eggplant
String Beans
Onions
Basil
Cantaloupe
