Week 21 – News from the farm

It’s the next to last week of CSA! The share for this week will be: Lettuce, Red skinned turnips, potatoes, onions, delicata or sweet dumpling squash, daikon, peppers, cauliflower. We will hopefully be able to harvest some herbs and arugula/ tatsoi for greens once the snow melts.

As for snow, we received about 10 inches of snow at the farm and lost power Saturday evening. We harvested everything we thought might have been lost prior to the storm. I expect the snow to melt fairly quickly and the greens beneath the snow to be in relatively good shape. We have a fair amount of stuff ready for delivery so the shares will arrive without interruption.

I am writing from a motel in PA where I needed to come to pickup some soil ammendments for the garlic and cover crop seed. I decided to head out on Sunday night and combine the trip with a hot shower! I will try to write a full update once power is restored and I can assess the state of the crops in the field…
