Summer/Winter CSA
This is the 1st week for Winter CSA and the 17th week for Summer CSA. A true blending of the seasons. We can all see by the weather this last week- Fall is here. This is an especially busy time of year for us at the farm and I would like to extend our appreciation for your patience and our gratitude for you participation in our various CSA programs. This is the life blood that keeps us going through the winter.
We supply you with recipes each week, they usually appear in this blog with the box inventory, but this week we are a little behind. We will try to balance recipes that take highlight the contents of traditional CSA shares and what our Custom CSA customers may be choosing. Recipes will be coming later this evening in a separate Blog. We encourage our customers to post their own recipe ideas as well. You can search past farm and customer contributed recipes here on the blog.
At this point in the season we are still able to provide you with 100% Willie Green's produce. The celeriac may be new to you. It is related to celery but it is grown for it's bulbous root. This nobby root has a celery flavor and is delicious mashed or diced in soups or stews. The contents of this week's boxes are as follows:
Small Share
1/2 lb Salad Mix, 1/4 lb Spinach, 1 bunch Carrots, 1/2 lb Romano Beans
1 bunch Radishes, 1 head cauliflower, 1 - 1/2 pint Red Raspberries
Medium Share
3/4 lb Salad Mix, 1/2 lb Spinach, 2 bunches carrots, 3/4 lb Romano Beans, 2 bunch 1 head cauliflower, 3 Heads Baby Lettuce, 1 lb Celeriac
Large Share
1 lb Salad Mix, 3/4 lb Spinach,3 bunch Carrots, 1 lb Romano Beans, 2 bunch Radishes, 2- 1/2 pints Red Raspberries, 6 Tomatoes, 1 head cauliflower, 2 lb Celeriac, 1 bunch Collards, 2 Chioggia Beets
Note to Summer CSA small and medium share customers: We are still trying to get you each a pint of late Strawberries-weather permitting. The strawberries will be in addition to your regular box.

At last, a little praise!!! Thanks for the input and support! It is a real pleasure to hear from my customers, I have been working here for 5 years and managing for nearly 4 of those, being so busy here I have not been to a market in about 3 years. I have come very accustomed to feeling unappreciated, so it really means alot to me to know that the unbelievable amount of organization and work that goes into all our produce throughout the season is enjoyed by all who experience it. I take a tremendous amount of pride in what I do here and stop at nothing to continue to improve the quality of our produce. This passion and attention to detail is (to the best of my knowledge) unmatched by anyone in our field. Thank you so much for noticing and spreading the word, and making it all worth it Jenette! *Brett Blair* -Farm Manager

Thanks so much for launching the custom csa. This is the first time we have tried a csa and it is because it is custom. When you already grow a lot of your own stuff it is good to be able to get the things you do NOT grow- and custom allows us to do this. Thanks too for having the apples and potatoes. We live a long way from any access to organic produce-especially these things. Keep up the good work! God Bless
