Welcome to Week 20!
This week marks the last week of our Summer CSA share.
A 20 week journey filled with early summer lettuce to late fall beauty heart radishes. Most of our fields are now "resting" for the winter. Cover crops such as hairy vetch, rye and oats has been seeded and are already a few inches tall.
All of us at the farm thank you all for joining us this year and hope that you have enjoyed the farm's bounty. We are able to farm because of your support of organic and local farms and look forward to growing for you again next season!

The farm in your kitchen recipes.........
Beauty heart radish may look ordinary from the outside but once you cut this open you'll be captured by it's beauty of bright pink to lime green radiant color and it's mildly sweet peppery flavor. The spice comes from the skin of the radish so if your taste buds don't care for that simply peel away the skin and enjoy. Slice them up thin and enjoy in your salad or slaw and even a last minute in a stir fry.
