BOX 15 - Sept 26th, 2012

Pssst... Guess what?  You can make pumpkin pie with out canned pumpkin pie mix!  Yes, ladies and gentlemen it's true, with our revolutionary scientific break-through pumpkins you can now make pumpkin pies from actual pumpkins.  ;)

The frost finished off the rest of our summer crops - basil, beans, zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes... but it was a very effective form of weed control also!  Our fall crops are still luscious and beautiful and should produce nicely through the end of the season.  Now that the weather has changed you can expect to get a lot more cooking greens so get those saute pans ready!  You can also easily put up any of these greens by simply cooking, bagging, and freezing them.  The cabbages will last a VERY long time in the fridge so don't worry about trying to get through them too quickly. 

WHAT'S IN YOUR BOX THIS WEEK:

Sweet Peppers
Hot Peppers
Watermelon Radishes
Leeks
Prize Bok Choy
Pie Pumpkin

We will be giving out a survey in the next few weeks to get your feedback about your CSA experience this year.  We are always open to constructive suggestions to help us improve our CSA!  Our box supply is quickly dwindling as we approach the end of the season so please be sure to bring your boxes back each week.  Thanks!

Your Farmers,

Bryan, Katelyn and Ayden
