Howdy folks and welcome to week 17. Man, this cool breezy weather is sure feeling nice. We’re loving these shorter days that have us starting off the mornings bundled up in layers, shedding by mid afternoon, and then layering back up for evening chores. It really is the most comfortable time of the year to be a farmer.
This week we’re happy to introduce you all to our first harvest of husk cherries. These little guys are the closest thing to tropical fruit we can grow around here. They’re sweet, crunchy and perfect eaten straight up or added to grain salads with feta cheese, walnuts and a light vinaigrette. So good!
Anyhow, we hope you all enjoy this weeks harvest. A little taste of summer with some fall treats in there too! The sugar pumpkins are pretty darn delicious this year!!
Happy eating!
Your farmers,
A & T
