Week 6 Vegetable Delivery Newsletter



June 30, 2017
Week 6

Here are some of the items you may be receiving in your delivery this week:
Early “Nantes” Carrots, “White or Purple Vienna” Kholrabi, Strawberries, “Ella Kropf” Head Lettuce, “Bunte Forellenschuss” Head Lettuce, Mesclun Mix with Nasturtiums, Red Russian Kale and Rosemary.

Hello Everyone,

This week has a first for our farm shares, Strawberries! Fruit is new item in our bag and we hope it will continue for a couple more weeks. Fingers crossed with the weather.
We also have our first carrots of the season and kohlrabi. If kohlrabi is new to you, our favorite use is to peel it and slice it up. It can either be eaten sautéed or raw. Also it can be used as a slaw with the carrots.
Mesclun mix is also a welcome addition with a few peppery nasturtium flowers decorating.

It’s been quite the week here on the farm. There have been numerous bouts of bad news landing on us, with family and friends incurring multiple serious health problems. We have barely been able to get into the field. One of the major ones was Navarre experiencing a very bad fall leaving him with a major concussion and fractured wrist. He is now stable and out of the woods but we have to travel to the IWK in Halifax for certain days so I must change our delivery date from Friday to Thursday. Please let me know if this doesn’t work for you and we will make other arrangements for your delivery. We appreciate your understanding.

Meat birds will be available on July 18. We have 14 left for sale so please get your order in ASAP! They are $4.50/lb and most are usually in the range of 6-8lbs each.

I hope all of you have a wonderful week!

Your Farmer,

Amber
