Gearing up for The Harvest Market
We’re gearing up for our special Harvest Market on Saturday, November 5th! This fall market is a collaboration with The Informal Grub, the team behind the Rice Village and Heights Mercantile Farmers Markets. Our Harvest Market will take place on the farm on November 5th from 9am-noon and will include over 20 different vendors with an assortment of locally made or grown goods like eggs, meat, prepared foods, and flowers. This market is free to attend and is open to the public. We hope to see you there!
The first Napa cabbages are ready for harvest! This variety is a purple one and you can see how vibrant the color is in the photo below. Napa cabbages, sometimes called Chinese cabbages, have an oblong shape, crinkled leaves, and a mild sweet taste. They can be eaten raw in slaws or salads, cooked in a variety of methods, or made into a classic kimchi and other fermented dishes. If you’re interested in making kimchi, don’t forget that we also have icicle (mini Daikon) radishes at the farm stand, too!
After much anticipation, the rows of carrots we seeded (pictured below) have germinated! Overall we’re seeing great germination which bodes well for an abundant carrot season. We have orange, yellow, and purple varieties planted so that we can offer you rainbow bundles of these tasty root veggies. If you’re curious when you’ll be able to enjoy them, Farmer Alex thinks they should reach the baby stage by the end of November.
In Season at the Farm Stand: Napa Cabbage, Tromboncino Squash, Kale, Mustard Greens, Collard Greens, Swiss Chard, Arugula, Cilantro, Dill, Radishes, Cucumbers, Okra, Eggplants, Sweet Peppers, and Marigold and Sunflower Bouquets.
Upcoming Events: Harvest Market on Saturday, November 5th from 9am-noon on the farm
