| Daikon Radish |
Here we go with week 1 of the Fall CSA. For us it is week 21 of providing vegetables to our CSA member families!
This is our second year of running a Fall CSA for the month of November. We do not provide as many weekly baskets as our main CSA as we are still seeing how far we can push the growing season to be able to provide fresh greens along with root crops for the boxes over the next four weeks.
After last weeks 2" of rain in 24 hours it left the field rather boggy and muddy!
We continued with harvesting vegetables for storage. Last week we harvested all the celeriac, swede and watermelon radish, we are just about to start on the carrots and parsnips.
For more recipe ideas please remember to look through our past newsletters.
This week vegetable basket:
Cauliflower or Broccoli
Sweet Potatoes
Onions
Pac Choy
Carrots
