Fall is simply my favorite time of year. The slightest changes of green to yellow are beginning in the hillsides. The sharp contrast of brown soybeans and corn to the dark green hay fields and bright sunny skies are always breathtaking and encourage me to slow down and appreciate this beautiful world we live in.
We are lucky to have not had a frost yet, so some of our more summertime offerings continue though in reduced amounts. I would predict to have 1 more offering of tomatoes next delivery which is attributed to the healthy plants we still have in our high tunnel. Cilantro, jalapeño peppers, garlic and onions are also in the box so we encourage a little late season salsa making.
The one crop that has taken a bit of a hit this fall is our cabbage and broccoli. This family suffered during a hot humid stretch and a particular leaf disease diminished its quality. So instead of the broccoli that we normally have this time of year, we are sharing our abundance of raspberries. We hope you like this trade off!
It is this give and take with the harvest that underlies the foundation of the CSA concept. There is no guarantee of the box’s weekly contents, but we do our best to provide you a good variety of quality naturally grown produce. Thank you for being CSA members of Suncrest Gardens Farm!
The last pizza night of the season is this Friday. The weather finally looks to be about as nice as it has been for a September Friday night. Live bluegrass music 5:30-8:30. A group of older racing cars will be at the farm that evening as they enjoy Buffalo County establishments for the weekend and compete in a hill climb race up Yaeger Dugway on Saturday.
Eat Well. Smile Often.
Your farmer,
Heather
