FARM NEWS NOV. 6

Hi Folks,

Wow what a week -  snow, no electricity, it really took us by surprise!  Usually we don't expect snow until late December.  We actually had lots of fun with the predicament; candles at night with the kids, playing in the snow.. However the foot of packed snow on the crops made them unharvestable, so thanks for baring with us for a week of unbounty!  We've decided to extend the season by one week to make up for week 21's absence.  Now that the snow has melted and we can actually enter the fields with the tractors, we still have food available for distribution as long as the ground is not frozen. 

 

Unfortunately, many of our greens have been mashed down to the ground by the heavy snow, and so are unharvestable. (Pictured)  (Mustard, Braising Mix, Turnip Greens...)  Fortunately the Kale survived the weather!
Here's harvest # 21:
Kale
Potatoes
Beets
Onions
Carrots
Rutabega
Parsnips
Winter Squash
Greens???
Enjoy!!
Dan and Tracy
