Hi Friends,
Thank you so much for joining us for the Fall CSA! We’re really grateful to have you with us as we head into one of our favorite seasons on the farm.
Fall brings a whole new rhythm to the fields, with cool-weather greens, cabbages, purple broccoli, purple & green cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, root vegetables, winter squash, and plenty more to come. We’re excited to fill your boxes with the best of what’s growing here in Maryland over the next 13 weeks.
More than ever, we believe that knowing where your food comes from matters. When you buy from a local farm, you know the people growing your food, you can see where it’s grown, and your dollars stay much closer to home. You’re supporting farmland, local jobs, healthier soil, and a food system that doesn’t depend entirely on food traveling hundreds or thousands of miles to reach your table.
Every CSA share makes a real difference to our farm. As first-generation farmers, we’ve had to build this farm from the ground up, learning as we go and facing the many challenges that come with starting a farm without generations of land, equipment, or infrastructure behind us. Your support helps us keep growing, keep improving, and keep putting fresh local food into the hands of our community. And in turn, we’re proud to share not only what we grow, but a little piece of our budding farm with you each week.
Thank you for being part of it. We’re looking forward to a great Fall season together!
We still have a few spots available for both Gene’s Choice and Your Choice, and you can join now at a prorated price (price found at the top of this week’s list). If travel has you on the fence, don’t worry! If you need to skip a week, you can always double up on a future delivery, or we can donate your share, plus an additional box, to a family in need. With Gene’s Choice, if there’s something in your box you don’t want for any reason, just let us know and we’ll happily trade it out for something else. Flexibility is one of the things that sets our CSA apart from the rest!
Here’s what we have for Gene’s Choice this week:
Rainbow Carrots: These have that sweetness that you can only get from carrots fresh from the ground.
Bicolor Corn: A fall favorite, as the cooler nights make it even sweeter than before.
Acorn Squash: A small, sweet winter squash with tender orange flesh and a rich, nutty flavor. Delicious roasted, stuffed, or simply baked with butter and a little maple syrup.
Apple Mix: A mix of apples fresh from the trees. We have Fujis, Crimson Crisp, Gala, and Blondee, all crisp and delicious.
Picnic Peppers: Small, sweet snacking peppers that can be eaten as-is or used for cooking.
Red & Heirloom Tomatoes: Just a few heirlooms left! Enjoy the savory taste of summer while we’re still hanging on.
Allium Mix: A highly useful mix of onions (yellow, red, and white) and shallots.
Honey Subscriptions will be delivered this week, mums for the the Fall Special next Week, and pumpkins for the Fall Special in two weeks.
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
