Dear CSA Member,

There is more rain in the forecast. Due to the excessive rain, we are going to harvest a lot of tomatoes and peppers this week. Sweet peppers and tomatoes will fill most of your share this week. Please enjoy these tomatoes and peppers, we do not know how much longer they will last. You will also notice a little taste of fall in your share this week. Orange carrots and collard greens! We just posted an overview of the fall greens in the field. Check it out on Instagram.

Only a few weeks away! We invite you to our annual Fall Farm Festival. Saturday, September 1st here on the farm. 11:30-3 145 Garcia Lane, Leeds NY 12451. Bring your family for a great day on the farm. It is a great day to come to the farm and see how your vegetables are grown, meet your farmers, and walk the fields.
