Hello From the Farm!
Fall is almost here, and the fields are settling into a whole new rhythm. The cooler mornings are bringing on some of our favorite crops, from dark greens and hearty roots to winter squash and highly nutritious fall vegetables. There’s still plenty coming out of the fields, and we’re looking forward to sharing the best of the season with you.
Fall CSA pricing is now available! This year, we’ve added one more week to the Fall CSA, bringing it to 14 weeks instead of 13. So while the overall price is slightly higher, the weekly price remains exactly the same as our Summer CSA.
With the rising cost of just about everything, we’re especially happy to keep the weekly price steady while giving you an extra week of fresh, local produce. You can find the full pricing at the top of this week’s harvest list or on our website: www.genesgreensfarm.com/fall-csa.
As always, we’re happy to answer any questions. We’d love to have you join us for another great season!
Here’s what we have for Gene’s choice this week:
Red Tomatoes: Juicy, ripe, and full of classic summer tomato flavor. Great for tomato sandwiches!
Snack/Salad Heirloom Tomatoes: A colorful mix of small heirloom tomatoes with rich, sweet flavor and plenty of character. Wonderful for salads, snacking, and fresh summer dishes.
Honey Crisp Apples: Crisp, juicy, and wonderfully sweet with just the right amount of tartness. A favorite for snacking, lunches, or slicing into salads.
Fairy Tale Eggplant: Petite, tender eggplants with beautiful purple-and-white striping. Mild and creamy with thin skin. Great on a kabob, sauteed, or roasted with other veggies. We like to roast them and squeeze out the flesh to make baba ganoush.
Rainbow Chard: Colorful stems and tender green leaves with a mild, earthy flavor. Delicious sautéed with garlic, added to soups, or cooked into pasta and grain dishes.
Red Onions: Mildly sweet with a beautiful deep-red color. Great raw in salads and sandwiches, or roasted and caramelized for a sweeter flavor.
Sweet Italian Roasting Peppers: Long, sweet peppers with thin walls and a rich, mellow flavor. Excellent roasted, grilled, sautéed, or simply enjoyed fresh like a bell pepper.
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
