Week 18 Pickup List

So the final week has arrived! Next Monday, October 3rd will be the last distribution day, and since we would like to provide as much produce as possible for each pickup day, there will be no more extras at the end of distribution. Tomatoes, Melons, Peppers, and eggplant are all very thin as you all know, thus we may not have enough of all of these crops for every distribution day. The winter squashes and pumpkins may collectively serve as one pickup item, and we have the addition of popcorn as well! Lugi’s 1 lb honey jars and cookbooks will both be sold at $12. Here is this weeks list:

  • Potatoes
  • Sweet Potatoes
  • Watermelons, cantaloupe, musk melon (certain distribution days)
  • Tomatoes (certain distribution days)
  • Peppers
  • Hot Peppers
  • Eggplant (beginning Wednesday)

  • Red onions
  • Acorn and Butternut squash
  • Sugar Pumpkins
  • Pick your own zinnias
  • Egg and fish shares for those who registered

Week 17 Pickup List

Hi all,

So we are almost finished! This week we will return to Sugar Pumpkins, yet our Eggplants, Peppers, Tomatoes, and Melons are becoming slimmer and slimmer, thus we may not be able to give out all of these crops for every distribution day. 1 lb Lugi’s honey jars and cookbooks will continue to be sold for $12, and due to the limited amount of all the remaining crops, we may not have enough for extras at the end of distribution. Here is this weeks list:

  • Sweet Potatoes
  • Potatoes
  • Watermelons, cantaloupe, musk melon combination (certain distribution days)
  • Tomatoes (certain distribution days)
  • Peppers (certain distribution days)
  • Hot peppers
  • Acorn Squash
  • Butternut Squash
  • Sugar Pumpkins
  • Red Onions
  • Pick your own Zinnias
  • Egg and Fish shares for those who registered

Week 16 Pickup List

Hi all,

Only three full weeks left to go! (With Monday October 3rd being the last day). Several crops are very limited, including melons, peppers, and eggplant, yet we hope to provide these crops for at least 2 distribution days this week. Spaghetti squash has finished, yet this week will include the additions of red onions, “Heart of gold” acorn squash, and “Waltham butternut” squash. We may also be providing some split and “holey” butternut squash for anyone who would like to salvage the good parts of this veggie. Our pumpkins and “Tay Belle” acorn squash are ready to distribute, yet due to their limited quantity, we plan to distribute them during the final two weeks so as to provide enough variety as the season finishes.

Cookbooks are still being sold at $12, and only the 1 lb jars of Lugi’s honey are available at this time. Lastly, I would like to thank everyone who came to the potluck on Sunday and brought delicious dishes! It was quite the treat to see everyone’s talent in the kitchen. Here is this week’s list:

  • Acorn Squash
  • Butternut Squash
  • Red onions
  • Potatoes
  • Watermelons, Musk Melon, Cantaloupe (will most likely not be available every distribution day this week)
  • Eggplant (Certain distribution days)
  • Peppers and hot peppers (certain distribution days)
  • Pick your own Zinnias
  • Swiss chard (available Monday yet uncertain for rest of week)
  • Tomatoes (available Monday yet uncertain rest of week)
  • Egg and fish shares for those who registered
  • 1 lb honey jars for $12

Week 15 Pickup List

Hi all,

As the season winds down, a few new crops will become available to us after this week, including acorn and butternut squash. Many crops are declining seeing that the weather is changing, and sadly the lifespan of certain veggies are coming to an end. This will most likely be the last week of eggplant, tomatoes– which have stopped producing fruit — dragon tongue beans, all varieties of melons, and cantaloupe. Because of the very limited amount of tomatoes, the “buy a bucket of tomatoes” option has also ended.

Several other crops such as corn, cucumbers, zucchini, and squash will be available in small quantities for only part of this week since there will not be enough to last for every distribution day. We are planning however, to divide the distribution of crops such that there will be enough variety for the final week.

While we haven’t reached the finish line yet, we are all very grateful to our shareholders for making this a wonderful year, which is why I would love to see everyone at the CSA barn on September 11 for the potluck! Event will go from noon until 2 pm; you are welcome to bring friends and family, as well as a dish of your choice. Here is this week’s list:

  • Tomatoes
  • Peppers
  • Eggplant
  • Hot peppers
  • Basil
  • Spaghetti Squash
  • Dragon Tongue Beans
  • Watermelons, Musk Melon and Cantaloupe (will not be harvested Wednesday)
  • Soy Beans
  • Potatoes
  • Pick your own Zinnias
  • 1 lb and 3/4 lb jars of honey taken from our fields, sold at $12 and $10 respectively
  • Egg and Fish shares for those who registered
