Hello folks,

Thanks to all for making the 2009 cattle drive a success! We safely moved the animals (all 55) in an orderly manner from the Teal Farm to our home farm 5 miles on the Main Road. We had over 30 volunteers, a state trooper, first response,  a trailer with a porta potty!, and many side line watchers with lawn chairs.

The tomatoes are gone. Sniff sniff! Yes, its true, we pulled all of the tomato plants and put them in the burn pile yesterday. It was a sad parting of what could have been (ie salsas, tomato sauces and BLTs) but knowing that we were one of the many farms hit with the terrible late blight I guess that smooths the wounds. We did pick a lot of green tomatoes which you shall be receiving and hopefully enjoying some creative recipes with them.

This weeks harvest: Melons, Patty Pan squash, cucumbers, cabbage, kale or chard, boc choi, lettuce, onions, peppers and quite possibly- some carrots! We tested the corn and we’ll give it one more week! but get ready!

What a week! I hope you all are enjoying the harvest! Please let us know if you have any comments. We love feedback. Please submit some recipes! Ill try to find my green tomatoe chutney and post it later tonight!

Eat well,

Beth and Bruce
