Spaghetti squash does not need to be eaten immediately. It makes a great pasta substitute. Enjoy the tomatoes and peppers. We are on the last stages of the summer vegetables. The sweet corn is a new very sweet variety that we are growing this year for the first time. It is great! I did not list the type of apples this week because we still have Ginger Gold, but we are also picking Buckeye Gala. So it could be either one. They are both great eating apples.
As always please remember to return your boxes each week. If you will be out of town and would like to hold your box for a week and get a double on the following week, please let me know by Monday. You can also have a friend pick up for you or you can donate your share. We make donations every Tuesday to the DC soup kitchen.
We are expecting some great broccoli, cauliflower, apples, cider, sweet potatoes, and other great fall crops in the next several weeks.
If you would like to order anything from the store, just order it at least a day ahead of your delivery and we will add it to your share for the week.
The store is open! We have new items added to the store each week. You can add these to your share at any time. You can pay for these as you go with a credit card or you can choose to wait until the end of the session and get a 4% discount by sending a check.
If you have any questions, please let us know.

Our spraying techniques - We do not spray vegetables unless we sense a dire need. We will let you know if we do spray them. We do not spray any berries. We do spray fruit trees i.e. apples, cherries, plums, etc. Please ask us if you have any questions.
