CSA Week 18!


Working outside on a autumn morning.
We often feel lucky to be able to call this our office within the season.
The work is very hard and the hours are very long but the satisfaction we get from growing
food and flowers is very...well, satisfying.







This is a FULL SHARES ONLY week...Full Vegetable and Fruit Shares!



That means only those with Fruit and FULL Vegetable shares will pick up.

 

Pick up is Thursday, October 10th. 4-7 pm at your respective site.

 

 

 

 

 

Your Vegetable Harvest for this Week...

 

 

  • Orange Carrots with Tops (Don't be afraid of any oddball carrots that you may receive such as the one Peter is holding. They taste great and look funny! What more could you want?!)
  • Savoy Cabbage
  • Purple Top Turnips
  • Sweet Peppers (Yes these are still hanging on and are super fantastic roasted/charred for tonight or frozen for a cold night in January.)
  • Baby Arugula
  • Purple Kohlrabi
  • Cauliflower
  • Frisee (A slightly bitter green from the chicory family)
  • Buttercup Winter Squash (The flavor and texture are quite a bit like sweet potatoes.)
  • Lettuce Heads (1 large green romaine and 1 mini red romaine.)




     

    Your (last of the season) Fruit Harvest for this Week...


  • Concord Grapes (eat them immediately or juice them for their distinct, explosive flavor!) (Mick Klug Farm)
  • Asian Pears (Local farmer, Gail Cox from Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin brings us these unsprayed, crisp and sweet fruits.)
  • Ida Red Apples (Mick Klug Farm)
  • Honeycrisp Apples (Mick Klug Farm)


    **Yes, it's true. This is the last week of the fruit share.
    The good news is that we have fruit for sale at the farm stand for the next few Thursdays and Saturdays.
