Week 9 Pick Up

Delivery this week includes:

• Collards (6 oz)
• Beets (12 oz)
• Carrots (2 lbs)
• Parsley (2 oz)
• Cabbage (1)
• Summer squash (2--1 lg and 1 small)
• Cucumbers (2--1 lg and 1 small)
• Green beans (1 lb)
• Broccoli or cauliflower or okra (1/2 lb)

After Sunday's storm, we feel lucky to bring you this week's delivery!  The 70 mile an hour winds did a number on some of the veggies, but all in all, we made out just fine.  They'll be no more Swiss chard and some other crops, like the zucchini and cabbage, took a hit, but we're hopeful they'll keep producing for another week or so.  We've been watching our green tomatoes for two weeks now, waiting patiently for them to ripen and thankfully most of them managed to hang on!  We did do an emergency harvest of many of the onions, who's tops were broken during the storm, but no trees were uprooted and most all of our fencing stayed in place.  Its always an adventure and we hope you like your vegetables, this and every week.    

We'd like to invite you all to come out to the 

Horticultural Research Station on 

Thursday, July 29th for the big FIELD DAY.  

We'll be giving tours and answering questions at the farm all day.  Stop by to say hi or to learn a little more about what's going on at the Student Organic Farm.
