2018 Harvest 16

Howdy folks and welcome to week 16. It's hard to believe that we've made it to September but damn, it's feeling pretty darn good to get over the August hump. The smoke has cleared, the air is cooler, and the dark mornings are actually quite nice. We're sipping our coffee for just a bit longer these days before heading out for chores. It's wonderful!

This coming week we'll start the long (and heavy) task of harvesting the winter squash. It's ready to be picked and it looks really good this year. The sweet potatoes won't be far behind, but we're a little worried about the yield this season because they got nipped by a late season frost and I don't think they ever fully recovered. Fingers crossed though!

We hope you all are having a good start to your week and we look forward to seeing a lot of you at either Kickstand or Migration. 

Cheers to the late summer harvest!

Your farmers,
A & T

2018 Harvest week 15

Howdy folks and welcome to week 15. Before we get to the contents of your box we just wanted to say thank you to everyone who came out to the Rock the Harvest party this past Saturday. It was one heck of a party and we we're stoked to have so many of you there celebrating there season with us.

This week we're happy to have clear air, cooler temps and an abundant harvest list. We're slowing things down with seeding and transplanting and have already tilled in sections of the field and have begun to cover crop. All of the potatoes and onions are out of the field and starting next week we'll begin our winter squash harvest. Not to worry though--those will cure for a while before we start putting them in your boxes. It's still summer for another month and the boxes will reflect that!

We hope you all enjoying the shorter days and comfortable weather. Thanks again for being rock star CSA members. We're so thankful for you all!

Cheers to the harvest!

Your farmers,
A & T

2018 Harvest 14

Howdy folks and welcome to week 14! We can't believe we're deep into August but dang, here we are. This week the boxes are full of summer bounty with a ton of peppers. We've got sweet bell peppers along with poblanos and jalapeños. I think it's a chili kind of week! We're finally swimming in tomatoes so each week for the foreseeable future everyone will get both cherry tomatoes along with full size tomatoes. 

We're getting excited for the farm party on Saturday and hope you can all make it. The lovely folks at Union Wine Co. will be pouring wine from their traveling wine van and we'll have beer too. The band is getting stoked to perform for the 5th year in a row and we know it's going to be a great time. We just ask that you leave your pups at home due to crops and livestock. Otherwise, bring along your family or a few friends. We can't wait!

Alright folks, we hope you enjoy this week's harvest. See you all soon!
