Hello Friends,

The holiday season is fast approaching! As the days grow shorter and the light fades, we’re busy wrapping up the growing year and putting the gardens and fields to rest for winter. This in-between time is full of quiet but important work: taking stock of our seed supply, moving perennial plants, and getting as much done as we can before the ground freezes. Each task helps set the stage for another season of growth ahead.

With Thanksgiving just two weeks away, Victoria has decided to release an amazing list of options for pie preorders! If you would like to order a pie for Thanksgiving, please have your order in by next Tuesday, 11/18. Due to the amount of work put into these pies, we cannot accept late preorders. Autumn Special members will receive one pumpkin roll and one pie, and can choose their pie from this list. 

The whole process of ordering and deliveries during Thanksgiving week will happen a day sooner. We’ll release the list Sunday morning and ask that you have your orders in by Monday evening around 5 pm. Wednesday deliveries will happen Tuesday, and Thursday deliveries will happen Wednesday.

Now’s the perfect time to donate and help provide fresh, local produce to families in need this holiday season. Here is the link https://www.genesgreensfarm.com/giving

Here’s what we have for Gene’s Choice this week:

Apples Mix: A mix of tart and sweet varieties grown right here in Maryland.

Turnips: Mild and tender with a pleasant earthy sweetness. Great roasted, mashed, or sliced thin and eaten raw.

Garden Greens: A mix of leafy greens that have been sweetened by frost: rainbow chard, kale, collards, and asian greens in one bunch.

Butternut Squash: Creamy, nutty, and full of rich flavor. Excellent roasted, blended into soup, or baked for a cozy fall side dish.

Rainbow Potatoes: Mix of purple, gold, and red, this late harvest has so much flavor!

Purple Broccoli: Slightly sweeter and more flavorful due to frost, and easy winner for most meals.

Yellow Onions: Classic, full-flavored onions with golden skins and firm texture. Sweeten beautifully when caramelized.

Honey Subscriptions go out this week, let us know if you would like lanternfly honey instead of our summer harvest.

For choose-your-own members and those just jumping in for this week, please have your order in by 5 pm Tuesday, and leave some extra choices, just in case. Thank you so much!

Rooted in Good Soil,

Gene & Victoria
