Still Harvesting!

Hakurei Turnips still fresh and heathy!
Thanks to Johnnys Selected Seeds for donating all our seeds in 2006!

I am happy to report that our team of growers has proven that we are able to extend our growing season beyond Thanksgiving this year! The crew has been harvesting chard, turnips, kale, beets and arugula all this week. Some of it was sold to restaurants and some was delivered to the MANNA food bank. We are grateful to the Carl M. Freeman Foundation for a grant that sponsored our harvests for Manna this past season. Not only does the grant ensure healthy local produce gets on to the tables of low income residents in Montgomery County but this is the kind of meaningful, fully included job that we are proud to offer our "clients" with developmental disabilities- whom we call "growers".

Last Extended Season Harvest #4

We have been working hard to get our garlic planted. This photo shows our crew hand planting some of the 275 pounds of seed garlic (cloves of the larger garlic bulbs get planted). We are expanding our garlic patch so that we can meet the increased demand for high quality garlic- and this is a crop our group of growers is really edept at planting, caring for and harvesting.
Meanwhile we are still harvesting for T our 20 "Extended" CSA share holders.
Here is what's coming your way in this final week of harvesting for the CSA:
Turnips
Radishes
Beets
Carrots
Kohlrabi
Potatoes
Braising Mix
Arugula
Kale
Swiss Chard
Winter Squash
Garlic

Wow, loads of good stuff to lead you into the Thanksgiving Holiday week!
Enjoy!
