THIS WEEK’S SHARE–Second Week in September

We are entering the FALL Venue:

RED POTATOES
ANTOHI PEPPERS- European Frying Pepper
CABBAGE
LARGE GREEN BELL PEPPERS

Items to enhance your salads:
BUNCHING ONIONS
SMALL RED BEETS
MINI-HEADS OF ROMAINE LETTUCE
BABY LEAF SPINACH- if available
SMALL MEDLEY MIX PEPPERS

TOMATOES/ GRAPE TOMATOES

Dessert, Breakfast or snack:
WATERMELONS– Additional melons can be purchased on Pick up days
Non-CSA members welcome from 5-7 PM on Tuesday and Friday

We guarantee our melons to the best of our ability. They are not picked unless they are ripe, but with limited cooler space, we can not always pick them at optimum time and they may be over-ripe. If you get an over-ripe melon, let us know and we will replace it the next week as long as supplies last.

This is an indication of what we hope to harvest–numbers may be limited and not available for all members at the same time.

GRAPES AVAILABLE–FOLLOW UP ON PLUMS AND BUFFALO BERRIES

We have an opportunity to secure King of the North grapes to deliver at pick-up the third week in September.

Here’s the scoop:
Mark Stiver has 2-1/2 Tons of grapes for sale. He will pick and provide us grapes for delivery with our Shares the 18th and 21st of September. You can order them through the CSA by email to tcraft@rtconnect.net. Cost is $7 for 5 pounds. You may order multiple units of 5 pounds. They can be paid for at pick up. (Bring a container)

Cut off date to order is Sunday, September 16th.

FOLLOW UP NOTE ON THE AMERICAN WILD PLUMS–The plum man had 6 gallons last week and should have some more for delivery this week. We had orders for 25 pounds and I will deliver them as they come in. Cost is $2/gallon. I do not know how many gallons will be available, but we can take orders until the supply is exhausted.

The BUFFALO BERRIES will not be ripe until mid-September or October. The riper they are, the sweeter they become. I have orders for 15 gallons of Buffalo Berries. Makes great syrup and jelly.
