Lloyd Craft Farms Fresh Produce, Locally Grown

In order to put all our energy into the garden harvest (and hopefully some clean-up), we will again have the Pick Up’s on Saturday—October 5th and then Saturday, October 12th, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

All 85 members will be picking up on Saturday–weather is supposed to be 66 degrees and clear.

Fruit Share Pick Up will also be on Saturday, cooler #2, during the same time. Bring extra bags or boxes. 🙂

We will be putting together the ADD4Weeks option for delivery the last week. Once we have filled those orders we will know how many potatoes, onions, and winter squash will be available for sale.

We can find an eggplant or two if interested–though the plants looked pretty tired…and so am I… The Farmer’s Wife

Sorry about the omission– see you!

We still have watermelons–Saturday special price: $5 for the regular seedless Sweet Slice (12-20# avg size), Seeded Crimsons (also large size), and a new variety of seedless called Sorbet (8# average). Available 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

We still have some cantaloupe, too! $2 each.

You will again get one of each in your share–Enjoy them and buy a couple to share with your neighbors and friends.

Who could imagine cantaloupes and watermelons, vine-ripened, the last week in SEPTEMBER!
The Farmer’s Amazed Wife–

Good morning…or so I assume it will be when you read this post!

Today, SATURDAY, is the Pick Up day for the Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday members this week. I think we have things worked out for the Ten Sleep and Basin people, so that they don’t all need to make the trek to the Farm–

As we will be delivering shares to 64 members, things will be a little different:
If you have a Mini-Share, we will have yours as usual and you can transfer the veggies to your bags.
If you have a Half or a Full Share, give us your bags and we will fill them for you. We will have two to three people filling the shares so we hope to keep things moving.

There are still 15 dozen eggs for sale at $3.75/dozen.

We have raspberries for those that ordered them–$27 a flat.

Thanks for being so understanding this week as we sloshed through the mud and rain and poured all of our energy into picking, preparing, and boxing up extras.

The Farmer’s Appreciative Wife

WE WILL HAVE A SHARE NEXT WEEK–Still left to deliver are peppers from the plants we were able to pick clean…we hope some of the cold-tolerant crops (broccoli, cauliflower, celery) and the frost tolerant crops (lettuce & spinach), the root crops (carrots & potatoes), onions and winter squash including the fall pumpkins, maybe some more tomatoes that are protected deep in the foliage. We are currently trying to cure the Sweet Potatoes–new venture, new experience.

Depending on the supply–the last Share Pick Up may be the second week in October.

We will begin putting together the ADD4Weeks option for those 21 people who purchased the extension for potatoes, carrots, onions, and winter squash.

The difficulty this time of year is the finger-chilling cold. Stay tuned these next couple of weeks, follow the blog for updated information on Pick Ups.

The Farmer’s Wife

PICK UP FOR THIS WEEK ONLY WILL BE ON SATURDAY FOR WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, & FRIDAY WORLAND MEMBERS. ANYTIME FROM 10:00-5:00. We should be dried out enough and have enough cooler space to set up the shares. Appreciate your flexibility as we weather this storm– 🙂

TRYING TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE BASIN & TEN SLEEP MEMBERS FOR DROPS IN THEIR AREA–

RASPBERRIES HERE–Please come and get them–ANYTIME–$27 per flat. Need cooler space, they need home.
LAST OF EGGS FOR THE SEASON—16 dozen to good homes. $3.75- organic.

NO FRUIT RUN THIS WEEK—no storage or time to work them up this weekend with the garden needs. Will order next week–more info to follow.

TOMATO CLASS THIS SATURDAY IN THE FARMER’S WIFE’S KITCHEN WITH BRENDA–size limited, $20, register by email to diamondsonrise@aol.com

THANKS!

No pick up today–rain, mud, and too much produce in cooler to set up shares.

Watch the post for further directions— If clear and dry tomorrow we will have the Wednesday and Thursday pick up’s here at The Farm. If raining or still muddy, we are considering an alternate location in Worland–

More info to follow–Sorry for the inconvenience… The Farmer’s Wife

Wait until 6:00 to see if it has stopped raining– If not, Wednesday people come on Thursday with Thursday people.

Sorry for short notice– The Farmer’s Wife

The cold weather is bearing down upon us–Tomatoes may not be available next week–get them this week!

$1.05/lb.–we box them in 10#, 20#, 40#. This week only we will box them for you during pick up from what we have been able to harvest earlier in the day.

We will be picking the peppers clean, as well as harvesting all the cabbages, pulling the onions, and cutting the celery. Extra items will be for sale next week during the Pick Up day. We will also be harvesting the last of the melons, and all the winter squashes.

We will be row covering some of the crops and curing the sweet potatoes. We hope to go another two weeks–BUT WE’LL SEE WHAT THE WEEK-END BRINGS!

We’ll begin filling the ADD4WEEKS Shares–potatoes, carrots, onions, and winter squashes.

More to come….The Farmer’s Wife

Just got a call from the Raspberry People in Riverton. The raspberries won’t be here today–They will deliver them Tuesday by 4:30 for pick up on TUESDAY.

NO RASPBERRY PICK UPS TODAY–READY TOMORROW–THANKS–The Farmer’s Wife
