Things have really begun to slow down here on the farm, o.k., we've begun to slow down! It's so hard not to, this beautiful, humidity free weather inspires relaxation.
We are growing lots of greens and root crops and it looks like the apple trees are done for season. By August I can't wait until the arrival of Fall, but once Fall makes it's appearance I find it to be bittersweet. Yes, the weather's great, but i'm going to miss those tomatoes!
Last Sunday we attended a potluck hosted by our friends at Frog Bottom Farm and I ate the most wonderful apple torte! I wanted to eat the whole thing! As soon as I get it, I will share the recipe with you.
CSA members, this week and next you will be receiving (a variation of) arugula, mesclun, radish, mixed cooking greens - kale, broccoli rabe, swiss chard and mustard - as well as basil, garlic, apples, carrots, green pepper and beans.
Oh yeah, I should mention it as i'm thinking about it. I know some of you are a little beaned out. If you are finding yourself with several pounds of beans from the last few weeks that you haven't been able to eat yet, freeze them. Blanche them in boiling water for about a minute, drain the water, let them dry out a bit, dump them in a freezer bag and throw 'em in the freezer for soups or casseroles later in the year.
