Week #11 - FFF CSA Blog update


Yikes! Its week #11 of our twelve week CSA! Where has the time gone! Hard to believe that we will be done for the season! We will miss our weekly chats with our customers and the weekly routine of picking and packing!

We are also busy getting ready for Open Farm Day which is this Sunday. If you are looking for something to do on Sunday and want to explore the farm other farms - this is a great day to take one in. Here is a link to information on Open Farm Day:

Also in case you  haven't seen it, check out our Open Farm Day video previewing the farm:

What's in the box this week?!

Peppers (assorted sweet and hot)
Potatoes
Cucumbers
Carrots
Zucchini
Herbs (Basil, Parsley, Chives)
Ground cherries
Spring onions
Squash
Tomatoes (a rainbow of varieties)
Honeydew Melon
Leeks
Swiss Chard
Beets
Green Beans -  The warm weather has given us a second flowering which is quite a treat this late in the season.

Just a heads up, next week, which will be the last week, there will be a number of extra items so bring your muscles! Our pumpkins are almost ready so we hope to tuck them in for the last week. As well our bumper crop of tomatillos has taken its time but if finally ripening up. (Don't worry if you don't know what those are ) - they are yummy and I'll provide some recipes. We will also have a watermelon for everyone! (We had one this weekend and it was heavenly!)
 
Hope you enjoy this week's goodies!
