We have LOTS, LOTS, LOTS of Honeycrisp apples.
Keep them in mind if you are buying items for a school or organization. These are delicious and we will give you a REAL DEAL!
There are approximately 40 apples to a half bushel - if you buy more them one half bushel we will sell them to you for $10 per half bushel. Let me know via email if you want to buy some in quanity and I will order them for you.
If you buy them from the store the normal price is $15 per half bushel.

Dear Folks,
This week's shares will include:
Apple cider
Mystery item
Sugar Baby Watermelon - seeded
Spaghetti squash
Sweet Candy Onion
Honeycrisp apples
Mystery item
Personal shares:
Apple cider
Spaghetti squash
Sugar baby seeded watermelon
Honeycrisp appless
Mystery item
The mystery items will not be a mystery to you when you see them, it is just that we are not sure that we have enough of any one item to make it through the entire week. Do not worry we will make sure that each stop gets everything, just not in the same week. The Sugar Baby watermelons are small seeded melons - very sweet.
Spaghetti squash is definitely the most popular winter squash. You can boil it in a pot of water or you can microwave it whole - try it for 10 minuets and keep checking to see if you can put a fork through the shell. When you can put a fork through the shell, it is done. Take it out of the water or the microwave and carefully cut it in half. It will be very hot.
Scope the seeds out of the center. Use a fork to flake up the flesh (the spaghetti). We usually add salt, butter and garlic and eat it like that. Some folks use it as spaghetti noodles with tomato sauce, either way it is very good.
The store is open. I will continue to update items as they become available or go out of season.
Last week's nectarines were very soft and I thought they were good, but Gregg said that he thought some of them were mealy. I guess it is a matter of taste. I hope you thought as I did, if not we apologize if you were disappointed. They were picked last week, but they were the last ones of the season. So....
I just wanted to thank the folks who have already signed up for the Extended Fall session which will begin on October 27 and run through the week of November 17. I appreciated your confidence in our farm and your enjoyment of the Fall produce. You can go to the website and sign up. When you get to the first page - you will be asked to choose a season - scroll down and choose the Extended Fall Session.
We hope that you have a wonderfull week.

Dear Folks,
I just figured out how to get the new session to work. I believe it is ready to go. A few of you had emailed me early saying that you were not able to sign up, but I think I have it worked out. Thanks for your patience.
I am still working on the turkeys. I will let you know when you can begin to order them. Louise
