Hello Friends,
Only two weeks left of the Fall CSA! After this week and next, we’ll be adding an extra week for anyone who would like to jump in. After that, we’ll be taking three weeks off and will return in January for the Winter CSA program, which will start January 12th and go for nine weeks.
Pies will be delivered the third week of December or can be picked up from the farm any time after that, and a produce order is not required for pies. Cookies will begin to go out this week if you order them.
Thank you to everyone who has donated so far! Your generosity is already making a real difference, and thanks to you we’ve donated over 2000 lbs in November and are on track for at least 500 lbs per week in December. This time of year can be especially challenging for families to access fresh, local produce, and every contribution helps us put nourishing food on more tables across Maryland. As we head into the holiday season, we invite you to consider giving again or spreading the word. Even a small donation goes a long way in helping us deliver fresh, healthy produce when it’s needed most. Thank you for being such an important part of our mission to nourish our community. www.genesgreensfarm.com/giving
Here’s what we have for Gene’s Choice this week:
Kabocha Squash: A sweet, dense winter squash with bright orange flesh and dark green skin that doesn’t require peeling. Perfect for roasting, soups, and curries.
Bosc Pears: Crisp, honey-sweet pears with a firm texture that holds up beautifully when baked or poached.
Garden Greens: A fresh mix of seasonal leafy greens, ideal for salads, sautés, or adding a nutritious boost to any meal.
Red & Gold Beets: Earthy, vibrant beets in two colors. Great for roasting, pickling, or grating raw into salads.
Shallots: Mild, aromatic alliums that add a delicate, slightly sweet flavor to dressings, sautés, and roasts.
Apples: Super sweet and tart varieties. Likely a mix of evercrisp, honeycrisp, granny smith, and gala.
Cauliflower or Romanesco: A versatile cool-season veggie; creamy white or vibrant purple cauliflower or its striking, spiraled Romanesco cousin, perfect for roasting, mashing, or adding to grain bowls.
For choose-your-own members and those just jumping in for this week, please have your order in by 5 pm Monday, and leave some extra choices, just in case. Thank you so much!
Rooted in Good Soil,
Gene & Victoria
