10/3 Newsletter
Welcome!
Woo! Y’all feel that? It’s getting pretty chilly. This week, we have some fall favorites lined up for you, and even more to come in the week ahead. We harvested our winter squash this week, which is always a beautiful event. After sitting, growing, and getting sweeter all season, they are picked just as they are ready to burst with all of their stored sugar. Many farmers love winter squash because it doesn’t demand a lot of us, but it rewards our patience with sweet abundance that can last all winter. We are eager to see y’all again this Friday, October 6th at CSA pickup. In the meantime, we humbly ask that you please fill out THIS SURVEY, to let us know how we can improve your experience next season!

Featured Recipe
This week we are keeping it simple with Roasted Beets and Radishes with Goat Cheese by A Pleasant Little Kitchen. This makes a great side dish or a lovely topping for toast. While this recipe calls for cilantro, we think thyme or chives are a delicious substitute. As always, we’d love for you to share what you are cooking up with us on Instagram!
As a first year farm, we are always learning and growing. In your mailbox, you will find an end-of-season survey! We are asking that you take a few minutes of your time to fill out our survey so we know how to make your experience even better next year. CLICK HERE or find the survey in your inbox to participate. Our ears and inboxes are open for your feedback, anytime.
We love being able to work with the seasons and listen to the land. Thank you, for enabling us to do this work, and for supporting this vast effort to create a better food system. Looking forward to another CSA this Friday, October 6th! See y’all soon.
