Hello From The Farm,
We have a market this Thursday morning and have to move some things around. Locust Point deliveries will be Wednesday afternoon for this week only.
Happy Fall! All of the information for the Fall CSA can be found here: www.genesgreensfarm.com/fall-csa.
Here’s a few tips for new members:
Please leave a large cooler out if you won’t be able to get to your produce right away. If it’s hot out, ice packs are a must! Thinking ahead, coolers will also prevent your produce from freezing.
Please leave out a vessel of water if you have a flower order.
When ordering from The Breadery, we put our order in at 5 pm Monday, so we’ll require your order in before then. If you miss the deadline, it’s possible that we’ll have extra ordered for you.
We need CSA orders for the week in by 5 pm Tuesday. If you are a regular customer, you’ll receive a reminder before 5 pm if you haven’t ordered yet. We always accept late orders, but please leave extra choices in case we run out of anything!
Lots of things can happen between the time the list goes out and harvesting, so please always leave extra choices in case some becomes not available. This won’t happen often, but it does happen and we won’t have the time during the packing process to wait for email responses from 30+ people about replacements.
Please, please let us know if anything is missing, is not good quality, is smashed, or you would like something replaced for any reason. If we don’t know about these things, we can’t improve. We will likely be able to redeliver the week of and if not, can add more to your next order.
We try and reuse whatever we can! Mason jars, bags, and egg cartons, especially.
If you signed up for the whole season, feel free to add anything else on at any time.
We’ll be losing light fast, so please don’t be alarmed if it’s dark out and your order hasn’t arrived yet on Wednesdays.
Here’s what we have for Gene’s Choice this week:
Eggplant: Tender and versatile, with a rich, savory flavor that’s delicious roasted, grilled, or sautéed.
Bell & Italian Roasting Peppers: A colorful mix of sweet bell peppers and Italian roasting peppers, great for roasting, grilling, or adding to any dish.
Rainbow Cherry Tomatoes: A colorful mix of sweet, juicy cherry tomatoes in a variety of colors and flavors.
Adirondack Blue Potatoes: Vibrant blue-purple potatoes with a creamy texture and rich, earthy flavor. Great roasted, grilled, or turned into a colorful potato salad.
Canary Melon: Bright yellow on the outside with sweet, fragrant, pale flesh and a wonderfully refreshing flavor. Tastes like a mix between honeydew and cantaloupe.
Slicer Cucumbers: Thin-skinned, tender cucumbers with a mild, refreshing flavor, great for salads, snacking, or pickling.
Summer Squash Medley: A colorful mix of tender summer squash varieties, perfect for grilling, roasting, sautéing, or tossing into pasta. These won’t be around for too much longer!
Honey Subscriptions will go out next week, and the first Fall Special item (two 9” mums) will go out in two weeks. Please have payments for the season in by this week.
For choose-your-own members and those just jumping in for this week, please have your order in by 5 pm Tuesday (bread orders in by 4:45 pm Monday), and leave some extra choices, just in case.
Rooted in Good Soil,
Gene & Victoria
