Farm News – August 12, 2024

Hi Folks, We were spared by the remnants of Hurricane Debby last week. Another two inches of rain fell but the worst of the winds seemed to have passed to our north. The plastic was ripped off one of our small greenhouses, but no other damage was sustained.

This week’s share will be much like the last – we are continuing to send ground cherries to those who have not yet received them. Beans are back for everyone, and we have some nice lettuce. Those who received melons last time will get corn this time around and vice versa. We are holding off on the peppers to allow them to start ripening to red, yellow, and orange. After eight weeks straight of summer squash, we will give it a rest this time.

The share will be: beans, cukes, eggplant, carrots, red skin potatoes, leeks, kale, lettuce, tomatoes, melon or sweet corn, and choice of an herb. Premium shares will also include fennel and dandelion greens.

The fruit share will be: White peaches and Zestar apples

Enjoy! Farmer John
