August 30, 2020 Summer's Slowly Fading By Farmer Dana
A sweeping view of Field 7 fall crops on a crisp late summer day.
Harvest #16 (Week B) should include leeks, onions, garlic, sweet peppers, eggplant, tomatoes, basil, kale, swiss chard, lettuce, winter squash (then potatoes later in the week), carrots, okra, hot peppers, shishito peppers, and italian dandelion. Some items will be a choice and may not be available during all pick up times (total weight/items will stay the same). U-pick is winding down but should include edamame, flowers, herbs, tomatoes, husk cherries, and tomatillos. These last two or three crops may be open for 'gleaning' which basically means they're at the end of production, there's not enough quality fruit for everyone, the good ones are hard to find, take what you can get, etc. Consult the u-pick board for up-to-date information.
