BOX 13 - Sept 12th, 2012

Our summer harvests are coming to an end and we are starting to see some beautiful fall crops coming in!  The tomatoes, summer squash, cucumbers and eggplant are all starting to die back so we may not see much more from them this season.  Yesterday we harvested our first winter squash crop of the year and they are beautiful!  All of our fall successions are still looking great and we have a lot more great produce on the way...

WHAT'S IN YOUR BOX THIS WEEK:

Sweet Peppers
Hungarian Black Hot Peppers
Broccoli
Purple Beans
Tomatoes
Cucumbers/Lemon Cucumbers
Caraflex Cabbage 
Acorn Squash or Pie Pumpkin

We will be putting one of our fields into a cover crop within the next few weeks.  Hard to believe that fall is upon us!  It's been quite a weather roller coaster this season. 

Your Farmers,

Bryan, Katelyn and Ayden
