Winter Arrives at Red Wiggler

Our 26 week regular and extended CSA harvest season is now over and we are beginning to reflect on our 2008 growing season. Some of the growers will be on the farm in December as we glean the remaining turnips and collards for Manna Food Center. Volunteers are already lined up to make those deliverys. We are greatful for a healthy and abundant 2008 growing season! Thanks to all of you who have supported us this year and we hope that we will see you in 2009!
Cheers- Woody Woodroof, Director

Last of the Last--Extended Week #5

Dang, it's freezing out here today! My fingers have been numb pretty much all day long. I really appreciate that this is the last harvest of the year. I hope you do too, or maybe a little sad to see the veggies go away, but excited about the possibilities of a new 2009 season.

Here's what we've rounded up this week:

Garlic-take it away!
Turnips
Carrots
Radishes
Kale/Collards/Chard
Bagged greens of some sort
dill

Thanks for all your support!
