What’s in the Box Week #13


CSA WEEK #13
Farmer Matt and I took a round-trip ride to Vermont on Sunday to pick up some produce from our friend’s Certified Organic Farm to supplement this week’s shares.  We’re still dealing with the effects of the drought on our harvesting schedule, so we decided to bring in a few items to round out the boxes.  The carrots and kale are from Evan and his family at Harlow Farm in southern VT.  They’re grown using the same organic methods as we use here on our farm…  Coming up in the next few weeks we’re expecting to harvest arugula, fennel, tomatoes, peppers and even winter squash in early Sept!This week’s harvestRed Tomatoes
