Because of the surprise July 4 delivery, we will end the vegetable season one week earlier than in the contract. So there are two weeks of produce after this week. Then the vegetable season will be done. Hard to believe it's almost over!

Volunteers are still needed for the final two weeks' setup shift, from noon to 3:00 on November 13 and November 20.

Meat/dairy shares will go through the winter!

Salt and pepper the tomato slices; dust lightly with flour. Dip slices in beaten egg, letting excess drip off, then coat well with meal or crumbs. Fry in hot grease or oil until browned, turning gently (about 3 minutes each side).

Yarn CSA from Martha's Vineyard Fiber Farm

I came across this today via Not Martha. It's a Yarn CSA, the first of its kind (Not Martha is actually giving away a share). Martha's Vineyard Fiber Farm is the source of this CSA, and they raise registered Angora Goats, Cormo, Cotswold and Babydoll Southdown sheep, resulting in wonderful fleece that can be turned into fiber. Here's a little more info from the site:

Our farm is dedicated to producing the finest fleeces, roving and yarn by giving our animals the best possible care. We are deeply committed to raising our goats, sheep on a natural diet of pasture and hay for as much of the year as possible. We’ve also made a conscious decision to have our fleeces processed by a small, family-owned, solar-powered mill rather than sending them to a big commercial processor. We think the extra attention detail we receive is worth the added expense and slightly longer return time. And we like the idea of keeping those dollars in the hands of fellow farmers.
