Tewksbury Grace Farm

Hi Friends,

We continue to plant fall crops, eyeing the calendar for number of days left until first frost (already!).  Also, we hosted an organic vegetable growers meeting for Penn State  Extension at our farm on Monday, so we had to make sure the farm was looking “inspection ready!”  The rains continue to hit us when we need them, and our crops look great.  The 1.7 inches of rain on Sunday pushed out a flush of perfect shiitakes, so you will find them in your bag this week.  Tomatoes are coming on strong.  You should have some Sungold cherry tomatoes in your bag next week, and by the following week you’ll hopefully be feasting on our prize-winning heirloom tomatoes!  This week’s bag contains…

• Red Cabbage  (large lovely heads)
• Cucumbers (a mix of white, traditional and Asian, all have thin skins and are exceptionally tasty.)
• Parsley bunch (blend of curly and flat leaf)
• Walla Walla Sweet Onions (aren’t these delectable??)
• Snap Bean Medley (a mix of green, flat Italian, flat dragon and burgundy beans) (Spoiler alert: the purple beans turn green when cooked.)
• Shiitake Mushrooms (oy, they’re gorgeous!)
• Carrots
• Summer Squash

Have a great weekend,

Johnny
