Week 15
Here are some of the
items you may be receiving in your delivery this week:
Assorted Summer
Squash, Eggplant – Diamond and Listanda De Gandia, Purple Peppers, Cucumber-
either Holland White or Green, Cherry Tomatoes and Beefsteak, Purple Beans,
Green Onions, Fresh Garlic, Purple Dark Opal or Genovese Basil.
This week has brought
an incredible warmth to my heart. Thank you so much to all of you who have sent
the boys and I support. To you who have sent financial assistance to help with
us with getting through this drought it has been overwhelming and I’m
speechless at your generosity. Any amount helps immensely. Also your continued
encouragement with your friendship and kind words keep me going.
This farming year has
been very hard with an incredible amount of loss. The boys and I continue to
persevere and I am extremely proud of my two junior farmers. We continue to
learn a great deal and look forward to a fantastic year next season.
We finally received
rain this week, unfortunately for us and other farmers in Nova Scotia it came a
few weeks too late to fully save the season. The nights have also turned cold
once again which has slowed down our tomatoes from ripening. The trials and
tribulations of farming continue.
This week did bring
the boys and I the joy of seeing the eggplant ready for harvest. Navarre was especially
pleased as he loves it sautéed with his other favorite, summer squash. Add some
tomatoes and herbs and he has one of his preferred breakfasts.
Hope you are all enjoying
a great weekend!
Your Farmer,
Amber
