Hello Friends of the Farm,
This is the last week of summer! We want to take a moment to thank everyone who joined us this season. It’s been a long, busy summer, from the first greens and berries to the tomatoes, peppers, corn, melons, and all the abundance that comes with the heart of the growing season. Farming is a long process of planting, tending, harvesting, and starting all over again, and we’re grateful to have shared so much of that journey with you. Now, as the days shorten and the fields begin to change, we’re looking forward to everything the fall harvest has in store. Thank you for being part of Gene’s Greens and for supporting our farm through another season.
The Fall season begins next week, and Gene’s Choice is filling up fast! On the way, we have purple broccoli & cauliflower, red brussels sprouts, many varieties of cabbages and kale, kohlrabi, asian greens, fall squashes, a wide variety of apples, plus all of the summer goodies still in the mix, all started from seed in our small 45x15 foot greenhouse and delivered right to your door. We have pumpkins, mums, pies, cookies, and fall decor down the line, and can’t wait for you to see what else we have in store! We’ll be having food drives closer to holidays as well, so keep an eye out, as your support for us also supports your community. We’re here to answer any questions!
Please help us out by spreading the word! We find the best way to advertise is through word of mouth. Use the flier on this page to post on social media, bulletin boards, parent groups, and the like. Also, please post your share and leave us a review wherever possible! We’ve been hearing from people who have monarch caterpillars on their milkweed that we gave out in the spring, please let us and the world know!

Here’s what we have for Gene’s Choice this week:
Fairy Tale Eggplant: Petite purple-and-white eggplant with tender skin and a mild, creamy flavor. Great roasted, grilled, or sautéed.
Spaghetti Squash: A fall favorite with golden flesh that cooks into delicate, spaghetti-like strands.
Rainbow Peppers: A colorful mix of sweet bell and Italian roasting peppers in shades of red, orange, yellow, brown, and purple.
Red Tomatoes: Ripe, juicy red tomatoes with classic summer tomato flavor.
Pickler Cucumbers: Small, crisp cucumbers with thin skins and a satisfying crunch. Excellent for fresh eating or making your own quick or canned pickles.
Apples Mix: A mix of fresh, crisp apples with a variety of flavors. Honey crisp, gala, and somerset.
Allium Mix: A mix of red, white, and yellow onions, plus shallots, bringing plenty of savory flavor to soups, roasts, and everyday cooking.
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
