Greetings from Flipside Farm CSA!
Greetings from Flipside Farm CSA!
Your farmers were happy to have a little bit of a break with some cool late-October precipitation (much needed). We worked hard to stay ahead of the weather to seed down some more cover crops in preparation for the 2021 season! Our Oats & Peas look healthy, and our Rye & Vetch are growing daily – both of which are helping to improve our soil fertility and crop health for the seasons to come! Plus with this cool weather, our fall produce is starting to sweeten up remarkably. We’ve got some great new crops out on the harvest table too for this week (see the recipe of the week). FYI, with frost exceedingly likely over the weekend, this will be our last week of guaranteed flowers – we hope you enjoy the last of this season’s beautiful blooms! Check out the rest of the email below for some announcements and recipe inspiration, and we’ll catch you at the farm soon for our Week 23 CSA…
**Please note our CSA will follow weekly distributions through Saturday November 21st (Week 28). From December 2020 through April 2021, we will offer monthly CSA distributions (Weeks 29-33).
