Week 10

  Wow - we've had a really great weekend (a little rain, a little sun, topped off with some down time) and we're about to head into a new week.  (Thanks to all who stopped by at the Farmer's Market Saturday!)  We've been told that with just three weeks of deliveries left things will probably start to quiet down here on the farm - but we'll let you know how that works out.  :)

  Yes, there are just three weeks left.  While a lot of the vegetables you enjoyed at the beginning of the season have long since stopped producing, last week's boxes should be testament that there is still a lot of variety left.  Let's see . . . . what have we got out there . . . .

  If anybody has a You-Pick coupon left, now would be a great time to take advantage of the opportunity to come and pick some Beans.  (Getting enough beans to can into your regular weekly delivery might seem like an easy option, but it would really cut down on the variety you usually enjoy.)  Tomatoes are really flourishing, and I can't wait to make some fermented salsa.  (Oh yum!)  We still have corn, beets, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, kale, Swiss chard, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, yellow crookneck squash and a few cucumbers.  Also, the basil was looking really good last Friday, so if you want a sprig or two  tucked into this week's delivery, go ahead and mention it in an e-mail to Becky.
If that list of "availables" is starting to look a little too familiar and you feel the need for fresh inspiration, you could always head over to Pintrest or Epicurious.  (I did some web browsing this afternoon, just to see how many things one could do with Kale.  I had to quit because I got hungry.)

  If you have any special requests for this week's delivery, it would be great if you could e-mail Becky the day before - we'd hate to miss something and things can get a little hectic when we're packing boxes.

Thanks, and we'll see you later this week!
