Winter???

The season continues to stay interesting...right up until the end.  Our last summer CSA distributions are this week, and while the snow was falling, we were preparing for the 10th annual storage crop sale coming up November 5th.


Chilled Arugula!
 Our winter CSA distributions will start November 19th and we will be going through February 2012!!!!

Cozy under the remay!
  Though mother nature has thoroughly tested us this season, we have had an incredibly bountiful year.  We were able to freeze tomatoes, peppers, beans and collards and kale, all to be distributed along side our fresh from the field vegetables, as well as our fall harvested storage crops!!!!!  It will be great eating all winter long.

Yikes it looks cold out there!
  We are busy planning for next year....on the horizon is some new cultivating equipment to better kill weeds in the small grains that we raise for our cover crop needs....as well as field houses for our summer tomato crop...we really can't stomach another season like this past one (very few tomatoes)!!!

Cold Cold Cold
 We are presently re-roofing our main barn in preparation for housing the inverter for our new solar system...going in before the snow flies...ooops I guess I should say before the winter really kicks in!!!

Mesclun in the Cooler
 Because ...that is snow on the mesclun in that photo...
Out to the Hill
The kids had a blast this weekend and the snow forts and snow men are still standing.
Kale only sweetens with the cold
 Fortunately the snow has left the fields and the vegetables fared well.
Haloween Fun
Pipi, the scarecrow, captain Jack and our little politician are ready for a great winter!!!!
