The wonderful rain has returned. And it was great to be out harvesting and working today in the cool temps. Most of the fall and winter crops are now looking great and we will start harvesting some of them in a couple weeks. Actually we hope to get the winter squash and pumpkins into the barn to start curing this week sometime.
This rain has also given us confidence to go ahead with our fall/winter CSA plans. We would like to accept 20 shares this year with pickup available at the Watkins Glen Farmers' Market Winter location at St. James Episcopal Church Fridays 3-6 pm or Ithaca Farmers' Market on Saturdays. Cost will be $306 and we plan to offer 7 items/week. We plan to have a wide variety of root and storage crops, hardy salad greens, kale, cabbage, Brussels sprouts. Details and signup forms will be available in the next couple weeks.
