Happy Autumn!  We have had wonderful weather for garden cleanup this season.  Many happy days spent in the sunshine and tee shirts as we add to our compost pile and pull irrigation lines up, take down the tomato and cucumber trellis lines, plant and mulch the garlic and still keep harvesting from the gardens and hoop house.  Much easier to clean up without frozen fingers and wet clothes.  We had time to mix in a little fun here and there too…We love this time of year!

Leaf pile!

We are thrilled with the 1st Storage Share of this season.  We have never had such a bounty of greens at this time of year and we are blown away with the variety we are able to include in this share.  Enjoy it all!  And happy cooking preparing a tasty Thanksgiving meal to share with friends and family.  We are grateful to all our CSA members that share our gardens and allow us to have such a wonderful life at home as family.  Thank you so very much for what all of you have made possible.
