Howdy folks and welcome to week 21. It’s getting quite chilly out here at the farm with a major kill frost last night. We’re saying goodbye to peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, zucchini and a few different kinds of greens this week. We got the swiss chard just in time!!! We spent yesterday afternoon busy covering lettuce and a few other greens that we rely on for the next few weeks but as with all good things, it’s time to say goodbye to a few of our favorite veggies for the year.
This week’s box has some yummy ingredients for soups, stews, grain bowls, salads, and sheet pan dinners. We hope you all enjoy the bounty!
