Hibiscus Pods Coming Soon

05Sep

Did you know at Sunset Farm we grow the hibiscus plant that produces petals to brew hibiscus tea? The good news is they are just beginning to bloom and will be harvestable in just a couple of weeks! You can look forward to these purple pods sold by the pint in our Grab-n-Go cooler! These petals can also be dried for later use in tea, jam, or a cranberry sauce substitute for Thanksgiving!

This week we are breaking ground for new Fall crops and cool-season cover crop like clover and rye! Farmer Josie is doing a rain dance while broadforking in hopes of a summer shower to water in new seeds. Radishes, arugula and turnips are just germinating in our high tunnel and we expect to harvest them in just a few weeks!

A fresh and abundant harvest of zucchini has just hit the shelves of the Grab-n-Go and will be available at the Farm Stand this Saturday! Feel free to take a walk through the farm to see what’s new and upcoming for the Fall menu!

In Season : Zucchini, Korean Melon, Cucumbers, Okra, Long Beans, Jalapeno Peppers, Banana Peppers, Sweet Italian Bell Peppers, Roselle Greens, and Flowers
