Fair Shares Break - October 4 & 5

Please mark your calendars!

We normally take a September Sanity Break the final full week of the month, but this year we are taking off the first week of October, so there will be no pickup in two weeks, on October 4th and 5th, Wk 28.

EVEN-week Half-share members who pick up this week on Wk 26, please note that you will have a month before your next pickup on October 18 and 19, so stock up!

ODD-week half shares picking up next week won't feel a thing.

Weekly-pickup members have two more pickups before the break (including this week).

Wk 26 Produce Highlights

Loose carrots, sweet potatoes, mixed and fingerling potatoes. Let's not forget about poblano peppers--always a highlight!

The Skinny on Paw Paws

Please note that you can put your share on hold through your account under the "Delivery Hold" tab, but you must do so before Monday morning when we are putting together the numbers and ordering the produce.

We get stuck with so many bags of produce that we're unable to sell and we will need to charge you for the produce if you request that your share be put on hold after we've ordered. This is not a new policy, just a reminder since summer is here and produce is plenty.

Also, if you know anyone who might like to try out your share while you're away, it would be helpful to our farmers and us!

I really wanted to make paw paw bread because all the cool kids are doing it right now. Unfortunately only one of my paw paws were ripe enough... Read more

Use celery root in similar preparations as potatoes--in soups, root veggie roasts, pan-fried, or boiled and mashed, as in this recipe. If the stalks are attached, freeze them in a zip-lock (along with the cleaned peels) to add to stocks... Read more
