Late Fall Harvest #1 (Week A) should include sweet potatoes, beets, napa/chinese cabbage, salad radishes, hakurei turnips, green/savoy cabbage, radicchio, swiss chard, lettuce mix, garlic, rosemary, arugula, red mustard, and kale. Some items will be a choice.

I'm perennially hopeful that we can make it through the end of the year without the need for extra protection inside the tunnels, but that has yet to happen in 10+ years of Late Fall CSA. It's okay, though. Once we go through the trouble of erecting interior low hoops, placing sandbag anchors, and unfurling the inner cover, crops can safely endure outside cold temperatures down into the single digits. That kind of cold typically doesn't arrive until after the New Year and we're not pushing crop production that long anymore. Over the years it has been very interesting to observe the tolerance of plants in unheated spaces throughout the fall and winter months. For now, though, our goal is providing great harvests through the five weeks of Late Fall CSA. Depending on the regrowth of greens, status of storage crops, and farmer interest, we may do an occasional flash sale after the New Year. This week we embrace the Thanksgiving holiday. Hope you have a good one!
