Hurricane Irene brought August to a busy close as we enter the second, and most glorious half of the growing season.  As the farm crew transitions from our summer to fall staff we’ve had to stay on our toes as a team to keep ahead of the harvest.  With an monumental winter squash harvest under our belts, we feel poised to begin our fall mode.  September’s sunny days and chillier night air perfectly facilitates the switch.  Farmers and foodies alike revel in the bounty that September has to offer.  Tomatoes, eggplant and peppers are still going strong as leeks, winter squash and carrots begin to yield nicely.  For those of you that love the flavors of the summer months, now is the time to start preserving your favorite veggies.  The market is a wonderful sight this time of year, so take advantage of a sunny day and stock-up on the best the season has to offer!
