Bulk order, winter orders, winding down

This post expired on October 16, 2023.

Greetings,

We’ve still had no serious frost, but many crops are gone by all the same because of declining quality or by being all harvested. But,it’s not over til it’s over and it’s not over yet.

This week will be a regular order with what remains. The price has come down a bit for carrots and celery root.

The Ailsa Craig onions are offered at half price because the top or neck of many of the onions are a bit soft, but most of the onion is still good. If you like the Ailsa Craigs I think you’ll find this worth it.

I _might _be able to find salad mix, at least baby lettuces, so I’ll leave it on the site. The regular lettuce is all gone.

BULK ORDER Next week will be our regular one-time bulk order when there will be a discount for a number of crops like potatoes, carrots and onions when you order 10 pounds or more. The discount prices will be on the site. If you order less than 10 pounds the regular price will apply. You’ll still be able to also order whatever else is available that week.

STORAGE CROPS Something new this year will be to offer certain crops every two weeks for as long as they last. We’ll store them here on the farm and you’ll be able to order through the website as usual. Pick-up will be during expanded hours on Fridays, but only here at the farm. The first of these orders will probably be Nov. 15 (and possibly the 22nd if people want produce closer to the holiday).

This is an experiment subject to major or minor tweaking. We’ll see how it goes. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

Enjoy,
Tim

Soon the garlic gets planted for next year and the great cleanup begins – pulling up and composting tomato vines from the hoophouse and greenhouse, taking up and putting away the irrigation lines, pulling up tomato and pepper stakes, putting away supplies and equipment, and harvesting and storing the root crops.
