CSA Week 20: October 8 to October 10

This Week’s Share

Share Notes

• Turnips, Hakurei: For the fall we welcome back the crisp and juicy Japanese salad turnips, and this week they have their tender and nutrient packed greens on as well.

• Sweet Peppers: We hope you’ve been enjoying the Stocky Red Roaster (red variety) and Gatherer’s Gold (yellow variety) sweet peppers in your shares. With the turn to rain and colder temperatures they may only be around for another week or two more.

Order Bulk Vegetables from SIO

Are you a juicer? Have friends, neighbors or co-workers eyeing your share? Find your self just needing more SIO? We are having great yields on several of our fall storage crops and would like to again offer the opportunity to buy in bulk from the farm. We had such great success offering Bulk Carrots last year, that we are expanding to Bulk Beets, Bulk Potatoes, and Bulk Onions and may add more crops as they become available.

For this coming week please place your order by noon Thursday 10/10. All orders will be available for pick-up at the farm 12pm (Noon) Friday 10/11 through 7pm Sunday 10/13. To place an order email the farm at csa@sauvieislandorganics.com with your name, type of Bulk Box(es) you’d like, and the weekend you want them available for pick-up at the farm. You will receive an email confirming your order and directions for how to pick-up it up from the farm. Please invite your non-CSA member friends, neighbors, and co-workers to take advantage of this opportunity and get in on some of the SIO bounty as well.
