FALL CSA Newsletter ~ Week 2

I think we can all say last week's Indian Summer was lovely. It was so nice to be able to put a t-shirt back on and take the beanie off for a few days!  We had a heavy frost last night but all the tender greens and sweet turnips are still looking really good under the floating row covers.
Field clearing and storing of root vegetables continues and the pigs are loving all the trimmings that they are getting.
Thank you to several of our CSA members who arrived at the farm with their pumpkins from Halloween.  The pigs loved the sweet treat.  If anyone else has pumpkins on their doorstep the pigs would be more than happy to take them off your hands!
