Sadly, this is the LAST week for half shares.
Sadly, this is the LAST week for half shares.
Pick up is Thursday, October 17th.
4-7 pm at your respective site.
It looks quite tropical in our hoophouse with the GINGER harvest going on.
Ignore the fact that it's about 52 degrees and drizzly. If you close your eyes and sniff though, you would swear you were in the misty hills of Hawaii.
Everybody will receive a 'hand' of baby ginger in their share this week. It's considered baby because our ginger growing season is short by ginger standards. Only about 5 - 6 months!
The ginger in your share can be used without peeling given its tender skin. It will not store very long (about 1 week) because of that thin skin but is so fantastic you will want to use it up right away!
