This
Week's News From The Farms
The
dog days of August have arrived and even our kitty cat thinks so,
too. It's pretty tough on living things including animals and
people, but the summer crops are loving it, especially the tomatoes,
which are the highlight of the Summer Program.
The
tomato harvest has been really good and looks like a bumper crop that
should extend well into the Fall. So, enjoy them while they last.
And, if you have any recipes you would like to share, please email
us, and we will publish them in the Weekly Weeder.
The
corn has also been exceptional this year, and we hope to include one
more week after this one.
So,
stay cool and enjoy your summer produce.
Note:
We are working on the 2010 CSA Program, and expect it to be open for
registration in September. Also, please note that if you are
interested in signing up for the Fall Program, to assure your spot,
sign up soon!
