Last week of CSA!
...except not really - if you've joined our fall/winter CSA. We still have shares available. If you are in Corning and would like to join but are discouraged by the drive, we can set you up with a group of fellow CSA members who are sharing CSA pickup duty.
Here is a list of most of the items we expect to have available:

Potatoes, Onions, Winter Squash, Garlic, Brussells sprouts, Carrots, Parsnips, Kale, Chard, Cabbage, Turnips, Radishes, Lettuce Mix, Greens Mix, Beets, Rutabagas, Celeriac, Spinach, Leeks
 
 
The garlic has all been planted and now just needs to be mulched.

We had a big bummer yesterday when the drive shaft on our farm truck broke. So now we must wait for some of the jobs around the farm that need the truck (ex. mulching fruit trees). Luckily there are plenty of other jobs, but we will have to resort to using our pull cart and the tractor bucket to bring the vegetables in from the field for the next several days.

A random thought for your comments! At market on Thursday Christina & I were wondering if you can use carrot tops for anything. We didn't think so, but I have just found this:

Don't know how to reach Christina so I'll share with you instead!!
