Farm to School Harvest

A little reminder for CSA members to pick up your produce either today,
Tuesday, after 4pm or tomorrow any time. The baskets should be about the
same as last week with increasing tomatoes as we get farther into the
season.

If you have any little produce baskets, the type that berries and cherry
tomatoes are sold in, please share what you can with the farm.

This cool summer is nice for the farmer and some of the crops that like
the mild weather. Our fall starts of chard and broccoli and lettuce and
kale all are looking great. Heat loving crops on the other hand, such
tomatoes, beans, and peppers, are all late to ripen. If you take a look,
the tomato vines look vigorous and are covered in healthy looking green
fruits. The fruits have been full size for weeks, but are not changing
color, same with the peppers.

Maybe we will get a good hot spell in the weather, I'll move onto the
siesta schedule that is more normal for this time of year, and pick you
colorful fruits in the cool of the early morning. Farmers, sleeping until
7:30am on an August morning? That is ridiculous.

Your Farmer,

Antonia
