Share Notes

  • Brussels sprouts: An SIO first, our Brussels sprout plants actually started to bolt this fall as a result of the hotter, dryer, extended summer we experienced this  year. What that means for you is a smaller amount of sprouts in your share, but no less delicious. You can expect another round, which will be frost-kissed by this week’s weather, in your Thanksgiving Share.
  • Carrots, Shin Kuroda: This Japanese carrot has short but thick roots, and is a tender, sweet, deeply orange colored delight. It’s known to perform well in heavier soils, so we put it to the test in our heavy clay soil zone and are loving the outcome. You too may notice their superior flavor, texture and color.

Planning for Thanksgiving

The big meal is just around the corner and by now you may be wondering what is in my share for the week of Thanksgiving? For those of you menu planning and making your shopping lists we are providing a preview of the share. Please take note this just forecast and the share is subject to change prior to Thanksgiving week.
