bulk order this week
This post expired on October 23, 2023.
Greetings,
This is the bulk order week when a number of crops are discounted when you buy in quantity. The discounted price is given. If you order less than the discount quantity the regular price will apply. PLEASE READ THE NOTES AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH VEGETABLE LISTING FOR DETAILS.
Beets, carrots, celery root, leeks, and cabbage will all keep a long time if bagged and kept in the fridge. The root crops will also last if layered in damp leaves, straw, sand or some such and kept cold, but not freezing.
Potatoes should be kept cool – around 40 -and out of the light. We keep them covered in our basement. Some dampness/humidity is good.
Onions like it cool,dark, and dry.
Pick-up is the regular time. If it needs to be Saturday (here at the farm) just let me know.
The sooner you order the better for me so I can start harvesting before Friday.
I haven’t had time to extract the remaining honey, but hope to be able to offer some first to those who didn’t get any and would like some. Any left after that would be up for grabs. If you didn’t get any, but want some, you can add a note if you’re ordering or email me and I’ll make a list. Only one jar per household, please.
Maybe we’ll get an actual freeze this week! It will be the latest date in the almost 30 years we’ve been here. All the same, what a beautiful fall it has been.
Thank you for your orders.
Tim
