We’re past the half way point with fall now and back to standard time, meaning it’s dark early! We’re also solidly into fall veggies now and today’s share is a good mix of green mustard, lacinato rainbow kale, parsnip, green luobo radishes, napoli carrots, fennel, radicchio, kohlrabi and leek. The green luobo is a new… Continue reading Fall Share 4a

The easiest part of the prediction is that it’s going to get dark during pick up and we’ll have the lights on at pick up. Here’s what we’re hoping to have in the shares: kale, kohlrabi, mustard greens, carrots, winter radishes, parsnips, and either escarole or radicchio. The escarole is ready, but if we have… Continue reading Predictions for Fourth Fall Share

Celeriac, sweet pepper, beets, arugula tomatoes, chard and kale, spinach, salad turnips and frisée. The celeriac, like the celery, grew well this year and we have some big ones. Sweet peppers and tomatoes are making what is almost certainly their final appearances. The arugula is bigger, sturdier leaves, great for sandwiches or sautés but also… Continue reading Third Fall Share

In the plan for this week is arugula, chard, frisée, spinach, beets, celeriac, winter radishes and salad turnips. I suspect that we’ll still have a few tomatoes and peppers and that we may not have enough of some of the planned for crops, specifically arugula, winter radishes and salad turnips are all a bit unknown… Continue reading Predictions for Third Fall Share

Spinach, lettuce, tomatoes, collard greens, leek, sweet peppers, carrots and celery. We had a big tomato harvest today, probably due to the warm, sunny weather we’ve been having; same for the sweet peppers. The celery is the biggest we’ve ever grown, maybe too big for the first time ever, and that’s also likely due to… Continue reading Fall Share 2A

Collards, spinach, lettuce, carrots, leeks, celery, sweet peppers, tomatoes. It’s also possible we’ll have some arugula and chard. The greens are all a bit ahead of schedule with the warm weather we’ve been having which is speeding things up. Part of the trickiness this time of year is that so many things are ready to… Continue reading Predictions for Second Fall Share

Week 1 is off to a good start with kale, salad turnips, fennel, tomatoes, sweet peppers, spinach, onion and shallot, and lettuce. This is way more items than we usually have in the share, a bit of a collision of some of the summer crops hanging on, and some of the fall crops being ready… Continue reading Fall Share 1A

The start of fall share is always a bit of a mash up with the final summer crops and the start of our cool season. Looks like we’ll have a few tomatoes, sweet peppers, lettuce, the last of the onions and shallots, fennel, kale and maybe some spinach. Fennel wasn’t scheduled until the second share,… Continue reading First Fall Share Predictions

Final summer share and final Monday harvest of the year: beets with greens, lettuce, shallot, carrots, tomatoes, sweet peppers and collards. The shallot is a different species from the French Grey shallots we gave out earlier in the season, this one is more closely related to onions. Tomatoes are slowing way down with the cooler… Continue reading Thirteenth Summer Share

Lucky 13, the final summer share for 2026. Here’s what I’m hoping we’ll have: lettuce, beets, carrots, a few last tomatoes, sweet peppers, collards for Monday and chard for Thursday. We may have a few remaining summer squash and cucumbers on the farm stand but those plants will be coming out soon and they’re pretty… Continue reading Predictions for Summer Share #13

Lettuce, cucumbers, sweet peppers, chard, romano beans, tomatoes, onions and celery. Summer is slowly coming to an end and we only had enough summer squash for the farm stand this week. Chard was in the Monday share (which we didn’t harvest until Tuesday due to the holiday), but Thursday will either see kale or collards… Continue reading Twelfth Summer Share

Ha! Looks like I mislabeled this past week’s share number as share #10 when it was actually week 11! Next week will be week 12 of 13 so we’re just two weeks from the end of summer, and the weather seems to have decided that we’re already into fall. This whole year has felt shifted… Continue reading Predictions for Summer Share #12

Looks like I forgot to give a prediction for the tenth share last Thursday, apologies for that. Harvests have been taking up a lot of our hours in the field right now, so many tomatoes and beans this year! Sweet peppers are starting to come on nicely too. All of the onions and shallots are… Continue reading Tenth Summer Share

Lettuce, cucumbers and summer squash, red onions, lots of tomatoes, romano beans and red beets with greens. The obvious big thing in today’s share was tomatoes! They seem to be coming all at once this year and I hope they’ll slow down a little and last a long time, but you never know. The other… Continue reading Tenth Summer Share

Lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, summer squash, sweet pepper, beets, and onions are my best guess at next week’s share. The sweet peppers are likely the earliest variety we have, Jimmy Nardello, which look a lot like a hot pepper but is probably the sweetest we grow and has no heat at all. We never put hot… Continue reading Predictions for Summer Share #10

Carrots, baby leeks, summer squash, cucumbers, a lot of tomatoes and lettuce. Story of the day was a very big tomato harvest which is a result of all of that warm weather we had when the fruit was initially setting back in June or so, and the warm weather in July that kept it growing.… Continue reading Ninth Summer Share

Summer is far from over, but it’s definitely transitioning. The days are noticeably shorter, the summer squash is starting to wane, the tomatoes are starting to peak, and the sweet peppers are oh-so-close to being ready. Next week’s share should have lettuce again, back to only one head, cucumbers, summer squash, tomatoes, carrots and onions… Continue reading Predictions for Summer Share #9

Lettuce, cucumbers, summer squash, shallots, basil, tomatoes, and celery. Again, two heads of lettuce as it was ready and we’re needing to clear out some space for winter plantings in the next week. Time to make lots of salad with all of that lettuce, cucumber and tomato. The basil and shallots are nice additions to… Continue reading Eighth Summer Share

Lettuce, cucumbers, summer squash and tomatoes are pretty certain. We’re going to try to get some basil into the shares this week and maybe that celery I thought we were going to harvest last week. There’s a small possibility that sweet peppers might start this week, they’re very close! We’ll also have more of the… Continue reading Predictions for Summer Share #8

Lettuce, cucumbers, red onion, carrots, romano beans, summer squash and tomatoes. Two heads of lettuce today as I’m a little worried that otherwise we might loose some in the forecasted heat this week. Today got Emerald Oak and Carmona (red butter) but Thursday will probably see at least one different variety. I’m also not sure… Continue reading Seventh Summer Share
