I thought my last post on the subject would be the last haul, but I was happily mistaken. Thanksgiving weekend, Steve let us known the fields were still open and there was plenty left out there, so JV and I headed over. Mark was going to come, too, but he'd run nine miles with me that morning and couldn't walk. So we gave him a pass on that one ( Read more... )

Oops, Week 20 was in October and I somehow never got around to posting this. Better late than never and all that.

As always, I sigh at the transition to fall crops and the coming winter. I refuse to even think about the clocks changing.

Parker drop-offs started back up last week with a fabulous haul as per usual. Then I had some people over for games and was literally canning until a few minutes before start time. Lack of sleep made me an insufficient host, but luckily my guests managed to make up for it by helping themselves to the drinks I was too fried to remember to offer ( Read more... )

Last week, Parker Farm said that due to this year's horrid conditions, shares would have to be canceled for the rest of the season. I was, of course, quite sad over the news, but given the situation all over the state, it wasn't entirely surprising. A few days later, Steve changed his mind and announced that, with some small changes and ( Read more... )

Today there was horrible news on the farm share front that I'm not going to get into right now because I'm too distraught. I get way too emotionally invested in my produce. So for now, this is all about last week.

• 1 lb red tomatoes
• 2 lbs green tomatoes
• 2 lbs apples
• 1 bunch giant turnips
• 4 green peppers
• 2 bunches radishes
• 2 cucumbers
• 1 ( Read more... )

Good haul this week, along with some unlisted extras for helping out.
( Week 14. Nice Melons. )

I've decided to change formats and start posting the full share hauls. It's a better reference for me that way and more useful for people curious about what comes in, especially in conjunction with the new tags.
Week 13

• 1 bunch mustard greens
• 1 bunch arugula
• 1 bunch cilantro
• 3 onions
• 1 bunch carrots
• 6 green peppers
• 1 head broccoli
• 2 lbs ( Read more... )

Yields are really kicking into high gear everywhere and this week's take was just fabulous. Also, I recently added new CSA-related tags including individual tags for each year as well as each week number, which means you can click the latter to see what the yield was every year on a given week if you're curious how things compare season to season ( Read more... )

I was away during Week 10 so I don't really have a list of what's what for that one. Red Fire was fairly similar to this week, it seems like, and Parker had a woefully small package, but that worked out reasonably well for me. (And because he's that kind of awesome guy, we may be getting an extra week at the end to make up for it.)
