It's garlic, leeks, and onion week! We're planting four varieties of garlic (elephant, mexican red, spanish roja, and german white) as well as pea tendrils, spinach, carrots, specialty lettuce, and parsnips. The farm looks beautiful right now, especially "cabbage hill" as you're driving in on the main road. Citrus is right around the corner, too! We should be offering oranges and grapefruits by the middle of November, so get psyched for the influx of vitamin C! Our CSA boxes are the most beautiful they have been all year... a spectrum of colors thanks to the huge variety of vegetables we are harvesting right now. Thanks again to everyone who attended and contributed to the CSA Member Potluck and Slow Food Farm Tour, we had such a great time! Also, Brenton participated in a roundtable with the US Secretary of Agriculture about energy efficiency this week! How cool is that?

Thanksgiving is right around the corner! If you are stressing about figuring out where to buy your meats and veggies this year, look no further! Dai Due is offering a delicious and all-encompassing menu of heirloom meats as well as a JBG veggie bundle to pair! Check it out here. 

If you are a CSA member that’s headed out of town, you can always donate your share instead of postponing it! Find more information about sponsored shares here.
