Hi friends and neighbors! It’s been a long hibernation for the blog here at cullyneighborhoodfarm.com.  My winter has been fairly restful and also full of new things and changes.  I started a new job, made some changes to the farm business model for 2015, and spent a lot of time with my now 13-month-old daughter.… Continue reading Changes afoot

Congratulations!! You have made it through the CSA season! Except for this last hefty share. I made sure the quantities were big to make up for not doing one more week and also to help with your thanksgiving cooking. Here’s the list: One butternut squash, one long pie pumpkin, shallots, Carola potatoes (up to 4… Continue reading Week 27 – last share of 2014!

Yes indeed it is most definitely time for a real honest-to-goodness pumpkin pie.  I haven’t made one yet this year so with this week’s share I’m definitely due.  If you haven’t made pumpkin pie with a real pumpkin, well here’s your chance.  I promise it’s not hard and you won’t be disappointed.  The Long Pie… Continue reading Week 25 – It’s pumpkin pie time

Sorry for the late post this week.  It’s a bit of an odd share, with a few new veggie friends.  New to the share this week is celeriac, winter watermelon radishes, shallots, treviso radicchio, blue kuri winter squash.  And some more familiar items: swiss chard (although this is a new planting with scary HOT PINK stems!),… Continue reading Week 24 – Spooky fall veggies

The rains have really arrived now, and the sun is hanging low in the sky even at midday.  But the temperatures are still mild and the soil life is still active, so things are still growing, just more slowly.  We have a more fall-ish share this week, with a few summery holdouts.  Potatoes make a return… Continue reading Week 23 – settling into fall

Yes there are green tomatoes and red tomatoes in this week’s share.  You know what that means, right?  Yes it means the tomatoes in the field are not ripening up anymore so I picked all the green ones that were left.  Sorry there are so many small-ish ones, but that’s mostly what was left on… Continue reading Week 22 – green tomatoes & escarole

Yep a little bit of summer in the fall is what we’ve got in the weather and in the share this week.  Summer peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers sit alongside fall leeks, potatoes, hakurei salad turnips, spinach, and salad mix.  That pretty much sums it up…  I think leek and potato soup is on the menu… Continue reading Week 21 – summer in the fall

I know the first thing you’re wondering is if any of these are hot peppers.  And yes, the ones on the far left are Hungarian Hot Wax — not too spicy except for the seeds.  The rest of the share is: a bunch of mustard greens for braising (try adding some apple cider vinegar or… Continue reading week 20 – winter squash!

So here’s the rundown for this week: There’s a bunch of beet greens (use like swiss chard or spinach – these are thinnings from the last beet planting of the year), a bunch of hakurei salad turnips (remember these from spring? eat raw or cooked, their greens are delicious cooked as well), a bag of… Continue reading Week 19 – salad mix & spuds

This week’s share: – arugula! – for a great spicy salad or perhaps a pizza topping – 3 lbs of tomatoes – pico de gallo, pasta sauce, salads, sandwiches, etc… – various eggplant OR sweet peppers — moussaka, ratatouille, baba ghanoush, roasted peppers… – bunch of carrots (you may need to cut out some bad… Continue reading Week 18

Yes the solanums are in full force: the peppers, eggplants, and tomatoes are all members of the solanum plant family.  These heat-loving crops are now producing well in the field in addition to the hoophouse, thus you are starting to see some new varieties, like the asian eggplant (“ping tung long”) and the “jimmy nardello”… Continue reading Week 17 – scrumptious summer solanums

In this week’s share: – various cucumbers & summer squash/zucchini – These are all slowing way down right now, especially the squash/zucchini due to powdery mildew, which always comes in late summer. – walla walla sweet onions – carrots! – nice bigger ones now – though some have a bit of carrot rust fly damage which… Continue reading Week 16 – peppers and eggplant

My apologies for the lack of a blog post last week – everything seemed to fly by.  With the full harvest season upon us, time is the one thing I don’t have a lot of. So the share this week has: various cucumbers, beets, celery, zucchini and summer squash, Brooks plums (from my backyard tree),… Continue reading Week 15 (and 14 in retrospect…)
