Week #12, 2021

  • Lettuce
  • Kale or chard
  • Parsley or basil
  • Zucchini
  • Green onions
  • Broccoli
  • Cabbage
  • Cucumbers (very few so no promises but we will try)

With record-breaking heat hitting today and going through Monday we are getting your vegetables into the cooler in the wee hours of the morning. We will use the cooler to distribute vegetables. We expect you to continue to wear masks but also expect that a good percentage of you all are vaccinated. You can pick up your vegetables starting at 10:30 on Sunday. For those who are at pick up sites please plan on having your vegetables distributed in the morning before 1 PM. If you let me know who is the designated person to pick up from the farm for the pick up sites I can text them the moment the vegetables are ready. It is our intention to be done by 10 AM with the harvest. We may have a limited number of vegetables this week due to the heat and the need for us to be out of it. We expect that this heat will affect our production over the next several weeks. Nothing can grow in over 100° weather that includes tomatoes, peppers, zucchini and cucumbers that we traditionally think love the heat. Many of them will drop their flowers or even their fruit due to the heat. We will make every effort to bring you vegetables even in these extreme conditions but we expect your understanding that so much of farming is out of our control. Please stay cool and check on your neighbors and elderly friends. None of us are prepared for such dire weather conditions and we hope it cools off soon.

Here are some cabbage recipes:
