CSA #7 Fall and Winter

December 3

Greetings everyone!

It felt great to get some baskets back out to you after last weekends cancellation.  It also was nice to see crops that we thought were damaged come back.  Overall, the loss was not near as bad as we thought and everyday of nicer weather plants seemed to stand a little taller!

In your baskets this week:

Chez Nous Salad Mix
Kale
Carrots
Leeks
Celeriac

X-tra Greens: Spinach and Arugula

Here's a recipe for Leek and Celeriac Gratin:https://realfood.tesco.com/recipes/celeriac-leek-and-thyme-bake.html

Carrots harvested at this time are unbelievably tasty!

Crops that have the pinks and purples in them always seem to be glowing in the field ...pictures never do them justice.  



The Swiss Chard took it the hardest. We'll remove the damaged leaves and the new growth will be ok.



We spent some time hauling in containers of crops such as this purple napa which i use in the salad mix.



So here we are, waiting for a no wind to unroll our top layer of plastic.  The sides are up, as is the back wall  helping to protect the crops a little.  Once the inner layer goes on, we'll do it all over again with the outer layer. 



 Have a great week!
