Message from our farmers
Greetings,
This week’s harvest is a biggie for both the partial and full CSA members.
If you haven’t watched the weather channel on the web or TV lately, it’s okay, I’ll give you the short version of Hurricane Earl. Good news is, it’s not here yet, and may not affect us here on the eastern seaboard of the US other than a bit of wind and rain. And that’s about it, in a nut shell. If……the storm comes inland or closer to the eastern shore than what is currently projected, then the news is not quite as good.
I personally have a HUGE problem with tropical storms. They give me ‘Hissy Fits’ among other things. One of the reasons why this week’s harvest is more than you would normally expect to see in your shares is that the weather has been great, and everything has been coming into maturity rapidly. Another reason is that we would like you to have what ever we can harvest out of the field in light of what might come toward the weekend. Our greens and leafy items can not tolerate the wind and rain associated with a major storm. We’ll keep our fingers crossed as we can do little else if the good weather fairies are not with us this weekend.
Outside of the weather, this really is the best time of the year for me because……….. the watermelons are ready! Our crop of watermelons is perhaps the most favorite thing on the whole farm for me, (possibly the whole world). It pretty much makes the whole season’s work worthwhile just to munch those guys every chance that I can. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
Be well,
Fred & Karen
