BOX 10 - August 22, 2012

Box 10 means we are officially half way through our CSA season!  We hope you have been enjoying your produce so far.  We have lots of great stuff to come... Honey, pumpkins, winter squashes, soybeans, spinach, watermelon radishes, peas, Herbal Turtle's world famous horseradish sauce and more!  I don't think we'll have much for apples this year :(.  The extra mild winter/early spring caused the trees to start flowering early and when the last frost hit I think we lost quite a few blossoms.

WHAT'S IN YOUR BOX THIS WEEK:

Broccoli
Swiss Chard
Cucumbers (Lemon or Slicer)
Baby Beets (Detroit Red and Chiogga)
Sweet Peppers (Green or Purple Beauty)
Hot Peppers (Hungarian Black) 
Tomatoes
Zucchini
Basil

Tuesday's are great days for helpers at the farm so if you are interested in getting your hands in the dirt let us know!

Also, if you would like to buy some tomatoes for canning let us know and we have plenty of canning tomatoes that we will give you wholesale pricing on. 

Your Farmers,

Bryan, Katelyn, Ayden, Libby and James
Herbal Turtle Farms
