Dear Folks,
I must confess that I have made more errors during these last four weeks then I had made during the first 21 weeks! I apologize for the egg errors, missing boxes, missing extras, missing apples, etc.. I am making a concerted effort this week to MAKE NO MISTAKES!
Hopefully I can make it through the week especially since this is the turkey delivery week for most!!!
Thanks to all for joining us for this short extended fall session - we are glad that you could get the good items and that good food did not go to waste - since it would not keep over the winter.
We will still be having the NGS Farm Stand and the St. Luke's Farm stand open until Dcember 20 so if you are in those areas - please stop in and stock up on good food.
This week's shares will include:
Portuguese cabbage
applesauce
Gold Rush apples
mystery item
mystery item
The Portuguese cabbage is a very loose headed cabbage more like Bok Choy. It makes an excellent soup!
The apples is all natural with no sugar added. It will keep for months if you do not open the jar. Once the jar is open, please refrigerate. When you have emptied the jars could you please return it or save it until next spring for us. Thanks!
The Gold Rush apple is crisp and tart. It is a very late apple - like a Pink Lady only - yellow-skinned.
We are giving two mystery items. These are going to be whatever we have available. So you may not being getting the same thing as your neighbor. Plan to be surprised! If you get something that you do not know what it is - please send me an email and I will tell you.
Have a great week! Looking forward to seeing everyone this week for the pre-winter weather!

All of these apples make great eating apples. They are also great for pies, crisps and baking ,as they will hold their shape very well. DO NOT USE THEM FOR SAUCE! They are too crisp for sauce.
If you want apples for sauce, please let us know. We have excellent sauce apples as well for the same great deal!
You can ask for a mix of apples in each half bushel or you can just order a half bushel of one kind - take your pick!
