September is here and our season is almost half over. Our tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and melons have done well with the hot dry weather but the beet, carrots and greens have not. Our plantings of fall greens - orientals, broccoli raab and mustards - have also suffered due to the hot and dry weather. Lettuces, depending on weather, should be arriving soon.

Hello Everyone,

Hope you are all having a wonderful holiday. See below for tomorrow's share menu. Please remember to bring your bags to distribution and if you have spares, we always appreciate donations of extra bags to help out fellow members in a pinch!

We are very lucky to have Green Thumb farm as our vegetable supplier in that Farmer Bill grows over 400 varieties of herbs, vegetables and fruits, many of which are heirloom varieties and therefore, rare.

This week we have several items you may not be familiar with including roumanian wax peppers, dragon tongue beans and sorrel, but do not fear as all of them are very tasty.

Mid August and Summer is in full swing! The heat is on and dry weather continues. Tomatoes of all types are looking very good- maybe the best of this century if not longer. Last year no large tomatoes were brought in to any of our CSA groups. This year is so different. The dry heat conditions are ideal for tomatoes!
