Fall transplants are flying into the field. We spent Friday transplanting around 1700ft of crops and direct seeded another 700ft! We are also still seeding in the greenhouse for Fall and winter harvest!
Onion harvest has started at the farm! It has taken 6 months to get to this stage from seeding in flats to spending a few long days on hands and knees transplanting and then the battle of keeping the weeds down! But all the effort has been well worth it this year as it is looking like we are going to have some great onions, once they are cured!
This weeks box of vegetable goodness!
Lettuce
Onions - This weeks onions are a Spanish variety called Valencia with a mild to sweet flavour.
Zucchini - This is on my try list just need to find something to replace the breadcrumbs Zucchini soft taco shells but they look amazing!
Potatoes - This week we have Onaway again. Do remember these potatoes are fresh out the ground so no need to peel
Eggplant - We made the following recipe over the weekend and it uses both potatoes and eggplant and it was just to die for. Roasted potatoes and aubergines/eggplant!
Sweet peppers - Fried eggs and grilled peppers
Tomatoes - Our field tomatoes are still slow to ripen this year so you will be getting lots of the yummy little tomatoes from the hoop houses. You could even make a Cherry tomato tarte tatin with them.
Cucumbers - spiced-cucumber
Chard
Carrots
Cabbage - Add a little spice to your cabbage! Spiced Indian cabbage.
Herbs - Parsley
Hot peppers - We never include hot peppers as part of the share, as not everyone shares our enthusiasm for heat! The hot peppers are slowly starting to ripen and we will have a help your self basket at the stand and at pick up locations. If you want milder peppers then please just ask us about the different varieties.
